"You cannot anticipate what strange and varied paths your writing journey will take."—Jeanine Farley

1. What is your connection to Somerville?

I have lived in and worked from Ball Square as an educational writer since 1999.


2. How did or does living in Somerville influence your writing? Or, what does it mean to write from this place?

Every week I write about an urban critter I see in the Somerville/Cambridge area. Therefore, living in Somerville greatly influences my work. What I see on any given day could be what I write about next.


3. What do other/aspiring Somerville writers need to know?

You cannot anticipate what strange and varied paths your writing journey will take you on. Just follow your interests and see where it leads. For me, I was busy photographing bees and other insects, concerned about species extinction, when I felt compelled to tell others about my findings.
