I never thought I would write one novel, much less have completed
my sixth one. The first book, What Looks Like Crazy On
An Ordinary Day, came about because I had an idea for
a story that wouldn't fit into the structure a play requires. It
was a very different process for me creatively, but I enjoyed it
and was eager to try it again. At the time, I had no idea that
some of the characters would stay with me for the next ten years!
Aretha Hargrove is first introduced in What Looks Like
Crazy when she's only sixteen. She appears in Seen
It All and Done the Rest, as a woman of twenty-six, recently
divorced and struggling to balance her artistic life and the responsibilities
of motherhood. She has grown up in the pages of these books! Go
