Q&A with Robin McKinley...

...at Publisher's Weekly:

As some of our readers may know, you're married to the noted author Peter Dickinson. What's it like living in a home with two working writers?

 

Well, in the first place we live in three different houses, which makes it somewhat easier. We used to live in an enormous old ramshackle house in the country and then as Peter started to feel his age, he didn't like being out that far anymore. He said that his idea of growing old gracefully was to be within walking distance of the shops. So we moved into town, but we couldn't afford a town house that we thought we wouldn’t drive each other mad in. I'm the one who came up with the bad idea that we simply move into two little houses, which is what we've done, and then I'm afraid I bought a third one to house our backlist because I'm insane.

I read this one out loud to Josh, and he says that he's jealous.
