- My name is not Ellis Drake.
- All the things in my first short story, Hanged to Death, actually happened (except for the murder, of course).
- I don't know how to swim.
- My dream is to have a pet octopus. THIS IS MY DREAM.
- For some reason, I can still remember all of my student i.d. numbers and the license plate of my first car.
- I go to the library so much I'm on a first-name basis with the security guards.
- According to my grandma, when I was little I could count in Russian, German, Polish, and Spanish (and English, of course).
