1) Roxanne grew up in a historic home, surrounded by farmland and legends. In the late 1800s, her childhood home was visited by outlaws! Today, it is full of stories about hidden passageways, underground tunnels, and false floors.
​2) She's always had a vivid imagination. As a child, Roxanne couldn't always tell if she was awake or dreaming. After one vivid dream, she attempted to fly. (It didn't work out well.)
3) Roxanne discovered a love for reading the summer she broke her neck in an accident (completely unrelated to the flying incident).  
4) Besides reading and family, Roxanne loves: interior design, gardening, and singing. (But she'll never turn down good-quality chocolate.)
5) She is afraid of octopuses and falling.
6) Roxanne taught preschool until her kids were born. Today, she and her husband own multiple small businesses.
