No, I’m slightly dyslexic. One thing my editor at The Fix is adamant about is spelling the author’s name correctly and this has been drilled into my head.

On the first post I had it Karoon. *embarrassed grin*

Don't worry, I had business cards made up and they spelled my name "Karoon". Can happen to anybody!

As for S.E. Hinton, I'm glad you're inspired by her too. She had an online forum years ago, and I was thrilled to send her a message about how she'd helped me become a writer. I can't remember what her answer was. I guess she gets that a lot.
