Maggie Stiefvater on Maggie Stiefvater:
All of my life decisions have been based around my inability to be
gainfully employed. Talking to yourself, staring into space and coming
to work in your pyjamas are frowned upon when you're a waitress,
calligraphy instructor or technical editor (all of which I've tried),
but are highly prized traits in novelists, musicians and artists (I've
made my living as one of these since I was 22).
I now live an
eccentric life in the middle of nowhere, Virginia, with my charmingly
straight-laced husband, two small kids, two neurotic dogs, one
criminally insane cat and a 1973 Camaro named Loki.
I'm an avid
reader, an award-winning coloured pencil artist and play several musical
instruments, including the Celtic harp, the piano and the bagpipes. I
also make great cocktail party conversation.
