Hi, Erin. Fellow pool playing lady here!

What are your thoughts on pool becoming an Olympic sport?

I have read up quite a bit about it. It's my understanding that it's mostly because a.) the multiple governing bodies of pool b.) can't come to an agreement on one set of rules.

I can't say I know if this is still accurate since I haven't looked into it in a while. I feel like this is such a shame. There is such a universality of the sport and something that many otherwise underrepresented countries could really excel in (could you imagine how dominating the Philippines would be??). If/when I have the opportunity to really get back into the sport in the way I once had been involved, pushing for cue sports in the Olympics would be a big focal point for me. I'd also try to convince Jeanne Balukas to join the USA team ;)

Hope to see you around Amsterdam some time!

I will never forget the day my mom came home with Postmortem from the library and said, “My coworker said she’s the best and thought you would like this since you like that forensic stuff.” I was completely blown away by how relatable I found Kay Scarpetta. I even pursed forensic psychology (and found I don’t have the stomach for it, but I digress). I’ve even got a signed copy of Dust and I can not wait to get my mitts on Flesh and Blood in the very near future.

I can not thank you enough for writing such an amazing, strong, inspirational female lead at a time when the field was rather barren.

I have 3 questions, if I may be so bold.

1. How relatable do you find Kay Scarpetta?

2. Who do you day dream about playing the roles of your characters? Here is my (completely unfulfillable) wishlist of characters. RIP James Gandolfini - he would’ve made THE best Marino. David Zayas or Alec Baldwin are my replacements.

3. Will you have dinner with me at Rao’s? The only problem is that you’ll have to make the reservation since I can NEVER get one! ;)

Thank you! You've made my day! :D

What's your favorite recipe and can you provide it here? Please and thank you!
