Carolee Dean Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. What you believe shapes who you become! Q. What’s your greatest flaw? A. When I'm writing I become hyper-focused on my story and I sometimes forget other things... like sleep, food, exercise, the location of my car keys, and when I last watered the tomato plant. Fortunately, I don't forget my family. They're louder than the tomato plant. Q. Who is your favorite fictional hero? A. Joan Wilder, the main character in the movie "Romancing the Stone." She's an author who spends all her time glued to her computer until she's forced into a wild adventure in South America. She dreams of romance and adventure, but doesn't really want to take the risks involved in either. Q. What’s your best quality? A. When I'm writing I become hyper-focused which allows me to tune out a thousand distractions. Q. If you could be any person or thing, who or what would it be? A. A cat. They're comfortable anywhere. I'm really a dog person, but I wouldn't want to be a dog. Learn more about Carolee Dean
