It's So Amazing. I Mean Talk About

Sometimes I'll Say, "i Wrote That Book," And The Person Will Look At You As If You're Really Strange. One Time That Happened To My Daughter On A Plane. She Was Sitting Next To A Girl Who Was Reading One Of My Books And My Daughter Said, "my Mother Wrote That Book." And The Girl Started To Quiz My Daughter, Asking Her All Sorts Of Questions, Like What Are The Names Of Judy's Children And Where Did She Grow Up. My Daughter Thought It Was So Funny.

I Am Not Scared Of You, I Am Scare Of These Feelings.

I Was Sick All The Time, One Exotic Illness After Another, Which Lasted Throughout My Twenties. My Worst Decade. But From The Day The First Book Was Accepted, I Never Got Sick Again. Writing Changed My Life.

I Loved To Read, And I Think Any Child Who Loves To Read Will Read Anything, Including The Back Of The Cereal Box, Which I Did Every Morning.

I Never Read The "bobbsey Twins" Or "boxcar Children."but I Did Remember Being Downtown, At The Bookstore By Myself And Having An Allowance And Spending It On A Nancy Drew Mysteries. And I Was Probably Eleven, Twelve.
