hi I hope u want to be my friends

Some characters become your friends for life. That's how it was for me with Betsy-Tacy.

I'm an e-mail junkie though I'm trying to read my in-box only twice a day and to answer all at once.

I think we made out [sexuality changing]. I think that's really great, and we didn't jump into intercourse. And there were no blow jobs.

Suddenly question number four popped into my mind. Have you thought about how this relationship will end?

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

I'm a more skilled writer now, but after 23 books it's harder to be fresh and that's really important to me. I don't want to write the same thing over and over again.
