Carolee Dean Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. What you believe shapes who you become! Q. If you could meet any historical character, who would it be and what would you say to him or her? A. Queen Elizabeth. Why did you wear those scratchy high collars? You were queen. You could have changed the dress code. Q. If you could acquire any talent, what would it be? A. Playing the piano. I like to compose music but I'm very slow at it. If I could play the piano, it would help. I was a music composition major for about five minutes in college, but I was very slow at sight reading so I switched to music therapy and eventually speech pathology. Q. What’s your greatest flaw? A. When I'm writing I become hyper-focused on my story and I sometimes forget other things... like sleep, food, exercise, the location of my car keys, and when I last watered the tomato plant. Fortunately, I don't forget my family. They're louder than the tomato plant. Q. What’s your best quality? A. When I'm writing I become hyper-focused which allows me to tune out a thousand distractions. Learn more about Carolee Dean
