I write for what's left of the eight-year-old still rattling around inside my head

I take my ideas from my experiences.

The idea of the extraordinary happening in the context of the ordinary is what's fascinating to me

Your house is all about routine, not the unexpected events of your life.

As much as I'd like to meet the tooth fairy on an evening walk, I don't really believe it can happen.

Certain peer pressures encourage little fingers to learn how to hold a football instead of a crayon. I confess to having yielded to these pressures.

My ideas are not meant to suggest dreams or reality, but a surreal quality.
