Our aunt is actually named Mary Veronica, which I just realized this second. None of our family can call her Mary. I'm her youngest sister...The Brat. I am known to be the one who blabs to the world, that we all call her Snook! Who knows where that came from, but it was Snookie, then Snooks, now Snook. It keeps getting shorter. :) I just had to clarify that for everyone, like I used to do to when she was dating.(poor her) I'd make sure they knew her other name. I am very proud of my sister-dear, and I love to read her stories to my two grandaughters, who think she is amazing too! ?

Not only were the questions good ones, but the answers were so articulate--what else would you expect from a wonderful author. I love the Two Bobbies; I cry happy tears no matter how many times I read it. A great interview.

I always thought she would be a great one to do audio books because she's got a wonderful voice. Maybe I'll have to make her sing for her chocolate cake next time! And as an eye-witness, her cat, Dash, is adorable and a funny little spirit. I’ve been friends with Mary for 16 years and it’s fun to learn new things about her from the interview.

She must work easily with others. I hadn't heard of Two Bobbies. Thank your for bringing it to my attention. Surprising to find that Mary found no disadvantages to co-authoring a book.

I've often thought that picture books must be the hardest type of fiction to write, because of the precise page constraints and (in most cases) lack of control over the illustrations.

I wondered about the Mary name thing. I actually had a friend who was name Mary and so was her sister (after different saints). It was a bit confusing though. I bet my daughter would love Mary's books. She spends half of her time pretending to be an animal of some kind usually a dog or cat. Love the interview. I wondered about the Mary name thing.
