I'm Lucky That So Many Children Visit

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.

I Never Read A Horse Book In My Life. But I Thought That's What My Friends Were Reading And That's What I Should Be Reading. And This Was "dobbin Does This" And "dobbin Does That."

I Thought ["summer Sisters" ] Would Be A Children's Book - Two Girls Who Summer Together From Very Different Backgrounds. And Then When It Just Kept Going And Going And Going. They Kept Getting Older.

I Never Thought About Writing. I Was Married Young, I Was Still In College, As We Did Then, And I Had Two Babies Before I Was 25, And I Loved Them, And I Loved Taking Care Of Them, But I Was A Little Bit Cuckoo, Staying At Home And Not Having A Creative Outlet.

Moms Come Up To Me At Book Signings.
