Like my mother said, you can't go back to holding hands

I am certainly a fearful person, but fearless in my writing. So there's that other person inside.

I've never really thought in terms of taboos. I think that books can really help parents and kids talk together about difficult subjects. I've always felt that way.

Fear is often disguised as moral outrage.

A good writer is always a people watcher.

The child from 9 to 12 interests me very much. And so, those were the years that I like to write about, when I'm writing.

I kept a diary as a teenager but I never would have shared it with anyone. Still, I think it's very good practice to write things down.
