The story wasn’t planned, it came to me like a gift. That day I began brainstorming, more of a cause and effect exercise with every sentence beginning with, “You know what?” But when I returned home and began the real work on that draft, it developed into a conversation between a mother and son where Oliver uses the repeated, “You know what?” to postpone his bedtime. I heard the child in front of me say to his parents, “You know what?” And my fingers immediately started typing a new document. My laptop was on the tray and I was working on a story. So there I was, in August 2014, on an airplane to meet my grandson two days after he was born. I love writing on planes…the confinement, the focus…my mind flies off into its best creative space. What inspired you to write YOU KNOW WHAT? Question 1: First of all, welcome, and congratulations on this latest book.
