11 Questions from Clara Vulliamy

My lovely friend and fellow author, Clara Vulliamy, has written a cool blog post called 11 Questions, 11 Answers.  The idea is to share 11 things about yourself, answer the 11 questions asked by the previous person, and in turn ask 11 more.  You can read Clara's blog here:
