If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.
I watched some serious '80s television. 'Alice,' 'Good Times,' 'The Jeffersons,' 'Family Ties,' 'Cheers'... every night it was eat dinner, watch 'Cheers.' I was actually on 'Jeopardy' with Rebecca Lobo and Dot Richardson, and we were laughing because I was just nailing every random '80s trivia question - sitcom, theme music, movie, you name it.

I write about relationships, particularly strong female ones. A Nancy Drew book is very different. It's very plot-driven. I'm trying to create unique friendships and individual characters. My goal is that you're going to connect to the character and the jeopardy that they're in. You connect on an emotional level and invest yourself in the outcome.
Every time you step on the football field in between those lines you're putting your life, your career, every single ligament in your body in jeopardy.
