VALERIE PLAME WILSON

The ex-CIA agent and mom of two, 47, is busy raising her kids-and writing a spy novel.

HOW DID NAOMI WATTS DO?

Her portrayal was accurate. We clicked when we met. At the end of the day, we're both working mothers.

WHAT'S YOUR LIFE LIKE NOW?

I've been raising my children [twins Trevor and Samantha, 10]. I'm writing a spy thriller that is pure fiction.

IS BEING A MOM EASIER THAN BEING A SPY?

It's way harder coordinating and keeping my 10-year-olds' activities straight. The CIA stuff is a piece of cake!
