Absol’s Q&A with Nancy:
Hello, Nancy! Thanks for being our LEGEND of the WEEK!
Tell us what magical or legendary creature you’d be if you could?
Definitely a tree nymph, preferably surrounded by white birches. Who wouldn’t love a view like that?
Not I. No heights, thank you very much. But I appreciate your point of view. Can you tell us a little about how you came to be a part of Gnomes & UnGnomes? How did you hear about the Loft and this project?
I always read my Loft mail (hee, hee!), and if I miss anything, my good friend, Charlotte Sheer, reminds me. 🙂
How did you come to write about my very stinker colleague?
When I was visiting my cousins in Tampa, FL, I mentioned the Loft’s call for legendary creatures and asked them if they had any favorites. Low and behold, they introduced me to the Bardin Booger (and with a name like that, I couldn’t go wrong)
What’s great in your life right now that you want to share, personal or professional? Some wins?
I’m so excited to have my daughter, Sarah, in the anthology with me. I hope someday we’ll create a picture book together, too.
How fun that the two of you can be together on this poetry adventure! Thanks for your time.
