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. Which living person do you most admire? A. My mother, who is my greatest role model. 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.
Q. What are your 5 favorite songs? A. I Got You Babe, Stand By Me, Michael Bublé's Everything, Somewhere (There's a Place for Us), At Last Q. What is your biggest pet peeve? A. When people are not efficient and are wasteful of other people's time. Learn more about Robin Preiss Glasser
