I start with something that makes me angry or confused, and then I write about it. It's a form of self-help.

Brubaker and Phillipss books have always been about eight years ahead of their time.

We've all seen lots of stories about a young protagonist having adventures, and usually they're all boys, [and] there is sometimes a token female, or two.

Sure, this will probably end up being another in a long line of emotionally crippling misadventures...but let's try to have some fun along the way.

I've never had any interest in retelling stories from my youth.

It's TV shows like 'Buffy' and 'Angel' that usually have an incredible cliffhanger every commercial break that amaze me.

I think there is a possible future where maybe we do just take a hard turn away from the Internet and we do start valuing our privacy again.
