CONSTANCE LOMBARDO would love to be swept away to a beautiful desert island except for the:
Tropical bugs
Tropical heat
Quicksand (I watched a video about it. Scary!)
Having to wrestle monkeys for my fair share of the coconut milk
So she lives instead in Asheville, which is nothing like a desert island, but is a lot like a beautiful town in western North Carolina, with her husband and daughter. Her two cats, Gandalf the Grey and Myrtle, also live there, and one of them is very happy to eat all the bugs he can find (G.G.).
If she did live on a desert island, her desert island foods would be:
Carrot cake
Lasagna
Avocado toast
Her desert island books would be:
A sketch book (and watercolor set!)
Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea trilogy
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Escaping from a Desert Island
She is thrilled about the two other Mr. Puffball books:
Mr. Puffball: Stunt Cat to the Stars
Mr. Puffball: Stunt Cat Across America
Writing and illustrating books is her dream come true.
