Love it!<br /><br />Susan: that's what makes life interesting!<br /><br />Molly: the truck-driving Grandma isn't any cliche I've ever hear of. Surfer/math whiz good too. We should always go with the NOT obvious choices in our writing, but it takes time to stop and think about what's not obvious. I need to take more time for that. While I may claim high altitude gives me an edge, in reality that edge only shows up when you go down hill. And I don't have time to write when I'm visiting lower elevation places!<br /><br />Stina - of course you have cowboys - the Calgary Stampede!

A truckdriving grandma? <br />I love trying to go for the NOT obvious choice when combining traits in a character too. I'm actually working on that right now and it's giving my manuscript a lot more depth.<br />Just read your whole bio! It's great to get to know you a bit. I've never been to Wyoming, but I did theatre in Colorado at 8,000 feet for one summer.
