I read whatever I can get my hands on, but I particularly love YA and paranormal fiction. I watch way too much TV (Curse you, Fringe!), and when I'm not writing I'm usually jogging, biking, or gardening.

So, detective, I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job or anything, but I think you're asking all the wrong questions, and all out of order. How did I find Jorinda? Why were we out there? Why didn't I call the cops? You know, all those crazy things.
Look, now—don't be offended. I get that you have your forms to fill out and procedures to follow, but if you want the whole story, if you want to know the thing from A to Z, then you need to put down the pencil and let me do my thing.
You got a tape recorder? The police keep those old things around—at least, you see them on TV, right? Oh, you do have one. Good. Because I'm only telling this story once.

But my grandpop, he always played those old jazzy records, like some Miles Davis or Armstrong, and I took a liking to the trumpet. I had plans. Big plans, man. I was gonna bring that jazz back, and band was the way to do it.
Anyway, you know how band is. There's a hundred kids,
