My mother’s father, Hobart Cromwell, was a bacteriologist with Abbott Laboratories in suburban Chicago.

If I’ve ever regretted anything, it was putting all my eggs in one basket, holing up and kneeling at the altar of literature, instead of going out and at least reviewing, running around and trying to write for magazines.

I’ve always scribbled, and I still do it. I’ve written numerous scripts for films for which I think I’d be perfect as the complex, intelligent and, yes, modern heroine. Embarrassingly bad, all of them. I’ve had to come to terms with the fact that I’m not a writer.
I was actually quite surprised how many more mythologies there are about mermaids than the ones our society knows.
