Marsha Hayles Revealed

Marsha Hayles Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Listen to your heart and live your dreams. 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. With whom in history do you most identify? A. I share a birthday and an interest in medicine with Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor in the United States. Q. What is your favorite occupation, when you’re not writing? A. Running poetry workshops with young writers and hearing their work. Q. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose to be? A. Put me by a lake where I could swim or fish, take walks or just sit in a comfy spot to read and write.
