I've always been a mystery fan. My very first grown-up book, I distinctly remember going to the library and my mom helping me pick out an Agatha Christie book. I was in fifth grade or something and very proud of being in the adult fiction aisles. I tore through 'The Mysterious Affair at Styles.'

I've had some styles that make me wonder what the hell I was thinking. How did I let someone do that to me?
I kind of like the challenge of jumping into totally different spaces and styles and figuring out how to fit in.
