I'm always in a place that is sincere but conflicted about different things that come with being a Christian and being an active, churchgoing Christian.

My first published book, Story of a Girl, was the fourth book I wrote.

Remember that no matter where I am or what I'm doing I've got a special place inside me that's all for you. It's been there since the day we met.

It's a jagged thing in my throat, how much I miss her.

Ethan couldn’t possibly understand it, what Cameron and I meant to each other and how different it was from anything like a romance or a crush.

I didn't 'decide' to write YA, per se. But every time I thought of a story, it featured characters 15, 16, 17.

My books have been translated into various languages and sold in other countries, but I never have any contact with the foreign publishers and am so disconnected from that process that it seems almost imaginary. With 'How to Save a Life', I worked closely with Usborne editors and have been involved in the publicity.
