I was born in Buffalo, New York, the first city in the country with electrically lit streets.

Best Day Ever: 6 Boxer puppies climbing all over me while working on a commercial for the American Veterinary Medical Association. Bliss!

Most interesting job: manuscript reader for a publisher of romance novels (gothic romance, sci-fi romance, southern romance, ski trip romance, romance on the high seas, vegan romance (I made that one up), frontier romance, country club romance ...)

Most meaningful life event: saving a Yellow Labrador Retriever named Bilbo from drowning.

Question I dislike being asked: “Hey Eve, how’s Adam?” 

I find holding a chestnut in my hand oddly soothing -- minus the spiky shell, thank you very much.
