As we know from highlight №2, I love to chat. But what’s better (i.e. less stressful) than being faced with a curly question and frantically attempting to articulate an intelligent and interesting answer on the spot? [1/4]

Useful tips - I write under a pen name. I was going to use my real name - oops, not a good idea, I thought. Then I was going to use my daughter's middle name and my son's middle name for a surname - but there was already an author called that, so I had to come up with a new plan!
