My dad has a dry, deadpan sense of humor, and my mom has an unexpected, wacky take on things. They really encouraged laughing at ourselves and the weirdness of situations that come up growing up in politics.

Take it from me: I really love making things up, which is why I write fiction for a living.

'Jitterbug Perfume' is one of my favorite books.

In actuality, 'Sammy's House' can and should be read as an entirely fictional comedy set in a fascinating political world.
since truth version
I've seen some version of 'An Inconvenient Truth' since I was born.
I make things up for a living. It would be pretty boring to just fictionalize real people.

I love the satire and skewering of comedy writing.
I like my leaders smart and serious. I don't need a stand-up comic.

I can't look at people's wrists. Something about the veins makes me weak. My siblings used to torture me with that because they knew it was the thing I couldn't handle. They would stick their wrists in my face.
