Marsha Hayles Revealed

Marsha Hayles Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Listen to your heart and live your dreams. Q. What’s your greatest flaw? A. I am not a tidy person so my desk is always a mess. Q. What is your favorite occupation, when you’re not writing? A. Running poetry workshops with young writers and hearing their work. Q. Who is your favorite fictional hero? A. From books I loved as a child, two characters come to mind. I always admired Mrs. Pigglewiggle for coming up with such creative solutions to problems and Eloise for being so completely herself. Q. Who is your favorite fictional villain? A. I don’t know if Cat from The Cat in the Hat is a villain exactly, but he is a dangerous and charming rogue. I never could trust that he would get the house back in order before Mother returned home, though he always did somehow. Learn more about Marsha Hayles
