Author Review: Kristan Higgins

Hello again, Raiders!
I've been neglecting the site shamefully all year. I finished University at the end of 2011, and have been trying to find work in my industry since I returned from my American holiday (that same year).

I spent a lot of last year working part time and trying to find work in journalism or publishing. Unfortunately, my priorities have been finding full-time work.

In March I completed an internship with Universal Magazines in Melbourne. I wrote articles for Complete Weddings Melbourne, Poolside Showcase, and Choosing a School Victoria.

In better news, I started fulltime work at the ANZ branch of Oxford University Press in July.
I'm working in the General division dealing with English Language Teaching, Dictionaries, Children's, Trade and PNG school books.
It's been great fun, and I've decided to go to night school next year to complement my work experience. To that end, I've decided to get back to blogging. I'm still reading like crazy, and I should share that love!

I've stolen Kristan's personal trivia from her website in lieu of a bio or book blurb. I follow Kristan on facebook and she's so quirky, I hope this will represent her better:

Nickname: Mrs. Jeter
Favorite drink: Iced coffee,  heavy on the half-and-half
Phobia: Birds, especially hummingbirds. It's a phobia; it doesn't have to make sense.
Met husband while standing in line; engaged six weeks later, married within the year. Some say trollop, some say true love.
Daughter is named for famed American author and Provincetown bar. Son is named for Irish saint and the coolest 80s pop icon ever.
Favorite book of all time: Gone With the Wind. I've read it 14 times. Twelve of those times were in a row. 
Secret talent: Whistling. Well, I guess it's not so secret any more, is it? I also make excellent toast.
