Miami is one of the great cultural melting pots in the world. I love working and living here.

I was raised in New York and then moved to Miami in my teenage years, returning to New York later on.

I was actually born in Miami. We would spend the summers there growing up, so it's like my second home.

I don't like Miami that much. I don't like the weather. My base is Miami, but I travel a lot.

Well, I was born in Miami, and then I lived for a long time in Tallahassee, and before that, Winter Haven, which is a tiny town in Florida. I was not a city girl.

I grew up in New York City, and I moved to Florida in high school.

Growing up, all I did was write about the fact that I'm from where I'm from. I was a big champion of where I was from and Wisconsin in general, and the Midwest.

I spend a lot of time writing in New York.

Life throws up enough road blocks to keep you from writing; you can't be adding to them yourself by saying you can only write in one specific place. I'm in New York half the time and Texas half the time, and I work wherever - in my computer bag I have some foam ear plugs that I can put in.

I like Miami in the winter: there's no humidity, no bugs, no mosquitoes. You go out and wear your jacket, and you're all good!
