- I was named Jaime Lee, after my dad, Jamie. (I was the first of four kids, so whether I was a boy or a girl, I was going to be a Jaime. Or a Jamie.) Most of my old friends (friends I’ve had forever, not friends who are old), call me Jaime Lee, and most of my new friends call me Jaime. I answer to anything.

The beach below my parents’ house, where I grew up. This is where I would go to write my stories. It’s magic there. I’m not all that crazy about chocolate.
- I am crazy about kale.
- My first book was called The Tarantula Seed. I wrote it in grade 3 or 4. I really need to find that book.
- I am very disorganized. I have a messy office and always try to be neat and tidy, but I am not good at it.
- I prefer writing down notes with a pencil and paper to typing on a computer.
- Christmas is my favourite.
- I am a terrible singer, but my little girls love when I sing to them. (I think they might need hearing tests.)
- I don’t let myself play Angry Birds or The Sims anymore because I tend to display addictive behaviour when it comes to those two games.
- I am an excellent Blokus player. If you have never played it, you should.
- My favourite way to listen to music is on a record player. I love everything from Johnny Cash and The Rolling Stones, to Billie Holiday and Ray Charles.
- My feet are freakishly wide for a small person. I’ve been told I should be a very good swimmer because they are quite like flippers.
- I have one regret in life: not wearing my retainer enough after my braces came off.
- I love wearing dresses and I hate wearing socks. I like the thought of wearing blazers, but they don’t suit me. I always feel like I’m playing dress up.
- I don’t like shopping. (Unless it’s for dresses.)
Other things you might want to know about me (according to my 7 year old.) - I have never outgrown fairy tales.
- I have two kittens, named Squeezy and Gizmo.
- I think the beach is the best thing ever.
- I secretly enjoy blinding snow storms.
- I also think family game night is the best thing ever.
- I adore nature walks, and my husband always says I should be a trail guide because I know a lot of things about plants.
- I love cooking, and I make everything from scratch. Even ketchup and mayonnaise.
- My glass is always half full. (And we’re fortunate to have a glass in the first place.)
- I don’t mind sitting in restaurants by myself.
- When I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a writer, and I dreamed of being a mother. So, I know that dreams come true.
- I am a very fast typist. The last time I was timed, I could type more than 120 words per minute.
- I used to be a waitress, and I was very good at it.
- I can not keep plants alive.
- Airplanes make me nervous. Well, not so much the planes as being in a metal tube in the clouds.
- One day I want to learn how to play guitar.
