I Dare Me is about Lu Ann's inspirational and humorous year-long journey in 2010 to get her life “unstuck” by doing something new every single day. The 53-year-old author discovered that simply taking daily risks—some large, some small—had a cumulative effect, a sort of “refresh” button when she felt angry and stuck.
She challenged herself to literally dive in, starting with the Polar Bear Plunge on New Year’s Day, then filled out her year with adventures like planting an herb garden, learning how to soul line dance and eating a scorpion. It wasn’t long before she found herself waking up excited, ready to take on new challenges each and every day. The world was her oyster. She chronicled the journey in this entertaining, page-turning book of self-discovery—and hopes that in reading it, you too will learn to dare yourself to live life to its fullest!

What is the most unusual fairy tale you've ever heard/read?
Oh boy. Not up on my fairy tales lately. Maybe it would be a good First to go back and revisit them. I would say Rumpelstiltskin always terrified me though. That's a freaky fairy tale.
What is your favorite non-Disney movie based on a fairy tale?
Does Anastasia count? I guess that's really based on a true story/ legend. Not exactly a fairy tale. Another female character with lots of chutzpah.
What is your favorite line from The Princess Bride?
I think I'm failing this test. Can't remember a single one. Back to fairy tale school.
Which fairy tale should Disney adapt into an animated film next?
The Pied Piper. Did they do that one yet? I can see lots of little evil rat characters. Of course they'd have to create a smart female character. Maybe the Pied Piper was really a woman in disguise....there's a twist.
Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I love her spirit and heart and the songs are gorgeous.
What is your favorite song from a Disney movie?
From The Little Mermaid...."Part of Your World." My daughter and I used to sing that song around the house at the top of our lungs.
