My Mother Was My Greatest Fan.

It Didn't Happen In The 70s. So I Had A Whole Decade When I Was Writing These Books And Maybe There Was A Little Bit Here Or There But There Was No Big Effort To Ban Books.

I Think We Made Out [sexuality Changing]. I Think That's Really Great, And We Didn't Jump Into Intercourse. And There Were No Blow Jobs.

I Meet People On The Street Or At Book Signings And They Tend To Treat Me As If They Know Me, As If We're Connected. It's Great.

I Never Read The "bobbsey Twins" Or "boxcar Children."but I Did Remember Being Downtown, At The Bookstore By Myself And Having An Allowance And Spending It On A Nancy Drew Mysteries. And I Was Probably Eleven, Twelve.

I Like To Read Fiction Best And I Like To Write Fiction, Too.
