I try to create new characters in each book I write. That's what makes writing fun and interesting for me.

I love to watch movies.

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.

I fell in love with books at the Elizabeth Public Library when I was four.

Fear is often disguised as moral outrage.

I want you to know it was no big deal...those movies showing women screaming in labor are plain bullshit....there's nothing to it...you just push and push and finally the baby pops out...to tell you the truth I don't even rember that much about it except there was a very nice guy standing over me and every time a strong contraction started he gave me a whiff of gas.

I love movies, and theater, and kayaking, reading, biking, walking - oh, and dancing. I love to dance!
