Favorite author: Pablo Neruda’s writing is so beautiful and full of melancholy. Fyodor Dostoyevsky writes with meaning and passion. Lia Purpura’s description of images is so exact. They are a few of my favorites.

Person in history you’d most like to party with: Definitely Woodward and Bernstein. We’d chat about journalism over cocktails.

Favorite place never been to: I’ve always wanted to go to the Czech Republic and Prague. I’ve heard the cities in that area of Europe are absolutely beautiful and captivating. The Czech Republic holds so much mystery and beauty. It is such an old area, with rich culture, a blending of old culture with the new. I’ve read several short stories and watched movies that take place in Prague or the Czech Republic, and the storylines, language, and people are places and people I want to meet and immerse myself in.

Favorite author: Louisa May Alcott

Person in history you’d most like to party with: David Bowie

Favorite place never been to: London, England. London is the past and present home to some of the most magnificent writers, musicians, and performers this little world has ever seen. Between the Queen, the accents, the gaps, and the fashion, I can’t think of a better place to thrive than the original backdrop to so many prolific Brits. I want to go to there.
