Family!... You Might Just As Well Celebrate

When I Was A Child I Had A Best Friend Who Lived Across The Road From Me. When Her Mother Died Unexpectedly It Was Like Losing A Member Of My Own Family. I Think I Am Still Affected By The Memory Of That Loss.

At This Stage I Am Not Involved With Young Adults As Closely As Many Other Writers. My Children Are Grown Up And My Grandchildren Are Still Quite Young.

Family!... You Might Just As Well Celebrate Battle, Murder And Sudden Death.

I Don't Think I Prefer Writing For One Age Group Above Another. I Am Just As Pleased With A Story Which I Feel Works Well For Very Small Children As I Do With A Story For Young Adults.

I Had To Wait For A Long Time Before I Could Support Myself With Writing. However, Being A Writer Is What I Have Most Wanted To Be, From The Time I Was A Child.
