Many adults feel that every children's book has to teach them something.... My theory is a children's book... can be just for fun.

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.

I've made myself laugh from some ideas - but I've never scared myself.

I'm obsessed with radio. It's a good start to Sunday morning.

I started writing when I was 9 years old. I was like this weird kid who would just stay in my room, typing little funny magazines and drawing comic strips.

I have a cheat-sheet for each one of my characters about their personality, the way they look, etc. So there is no possible way that I could have writer's block.

Normally, I spend a week on the outline and take two weeks to write the book.
