Needless to say, it didn't pick up a lot! I spent a good deal of time with my nose in a book. I think I read most of the books in my elementary school library," she says. That love for books translated into a natural love for writing and a desire to create stories that other readers could get lost in, just as she had gotten lost in her favorite books. Inglath says that love for reading is something she hopes to pass on to her three daughters. "There's just nothing like that one-on-one experience with a good story. My girls love to be read to, and it's something I intend to nurture in them." Inglath lives on a farm in Virginia with her family. They are a family of threes: three children, three dogs, three horses, three cats. "And two parents who wear a lot of hats," she says. Living in the same county where she grew up, Inglath draws on her small-town background for her books. "There's something about small-town life that's just part of who I am. I've had the desire to live in other places, wondered what it would be like to be a true Manhattanite, but the thing I know I would miss is the familiarity of faces everywhere I go. There's a lot to be said for going in the grocery store and seeing ten people you know!" Inglath loves to spend time outdoors. Her hobbies include running and horseback riding around her beautiful Virginia farm.view less
