Making my class laugh and getting in trouble. I was the class clown.

Making my class laugh and getting in trouble. I was the class clown.

I've killed hundreds of teenagers. Hundreds. And I didn't know why. Why did I enjoy doing it so much? Why? And then I realized - I had a teenager at home!

I haven't written a young-adult book in years. I'm also doing six 'Goosebumps' books a year now.

When I was a kid my family was really poor and I remember one Halloween I wanted to dress up really scary and my parents came home with a duck costume. I wore that costume for years! I hated it.

I guess I'm way too kind and generous, and a saint - if you can believe that!

When I write, I try to think back to what I was afraid of or what was scary to me, and try to put those feelings into books.
