Robin Preiss Glasser Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Focus on your goal, and just keep plodding towards it with blinders on. Q. What are your most overused words or phrases? A. Down, Boo, down! (spoken to the dog) Q. If you could acquire any talent, what would it be? A. The ability to train my dog to stop chewing the sofa. Q. What 3 personal qualities are most important to you? A. A sense of humor, kindness, and vitality Q. How would you describe perfect happiness? A.
I love to perform. First as a ballet dancer, and now, when I go out to promote my books, I get to perform for audiences. Happiness to me is when I'm in the spotlight. I'm very lucky. I have a wonderful husband and children who are (knock on wood -- I am very superstitious) happy and healthy, who allow me to do what I love...which is basically to sit at my drafting table coloring every day, and occasionally stepping out into the limelight.
