I have a cat named pickles. I have a garden of roses. I like swimming. My parents were hippies. My parents met at a concert.
I am a writer. I believe having pets would interrupt my work. I do not like pickles. I go to starbucks to write sometimes. I am writing a book about a black cat. I like the color black. I cannot swim.
What is your book about? about a black cat? Could you share a bit more? I'm writing a children's book about a black cat, I haven't picked a name for it yet. It's a bit ironic since I don't like having pets, but I grew up with a cat so I wanted to write about one. Is Pickles black?  No, he's tabby actually.  But my family used to have a black cat when i was young.  Is the cat you grew up with black? The cat I grew up with was also an orange tabby. I'm thinking of writing about the Black cat being afraid of swimming, and he has to get across a river to get home. I suppose I could add Pickles to my story, would you be interested in that?  Sure, that would be nice!  What else have you written about? I mainly write childrens books and have a friend illustrate them. They involve different aspects of emotions such as fear, sadness, happiness. They all have different characters in each book. Do you have any children? Not yet, still trying to find that perfect someone.  How about you? I don't have any children, but I have two nieces so I am a proud uncle. Do you enjoy having a Rose Garden? Is it difficult to maintain? Yes, i enjoy it very much.  It definitely was difficult to get the hang of, but 've been doing it for a few years now and I think I've got it down.  I love to spend time in my yard among the roses.  Have you ever gardened? I have never gardened before, I don't really have a green thumb, so I stick to writing. Did your parents teach you to Garden? Yep, we had a garden full of all sorts of herbs and vegetables growing up.  My mom also had a small flower garden.   That's great, I wish I could grow a bunch of those. Does your Mom still garden? Do you grow herbs and vegetables as well?
