I Believe, Sometimes, That The Whole World

I Work Full-time In A Used Bookstore. I Get Up. I Drink A Cup Of Coffee. I Think, The Last Thing I Want To Do Is Write. Then I Go To The Computer And Write.

I Think Of Myself As An Enormously Lucky Person.

I Was Born In Philadelphia And Currently Live In Minneapolis. I Write For Both Children And Adults.

I Need To Write, And I Can't Write When I'm On The Road.

It Distresses Me That Parents Insist That Their Children Read Or Make Them Read. I Think The Best Way For Children To Treasure Reading Is For Them To See The Adults In Their Lives Reading For Their Own Pleasure.
