At age 12, I was put on tranquilizers when I should have gotten help. There was nothing major and awful, I just didn't feel my family was supportive and emotionally generous. ↗

I deal with unhappy marriages a lot. I've never been married, I'm single. ↗

I made the choice long ago to write about real life. And life is both serious and funny. ↗

I think my books talk about kids learning to like and respect themselves and each other. You can't write a message book; you just tell the best story you know how to tell. ↗

I want to keep meeting new people, enlarging my circle of friends. I have great friends now... really good people. But I'm always ready for what comes next. ↗

I'm very lucky. I'm very fortunate that my books have never gone out of print - none of them. ↗

My father was a very unhappy person, very sarcastic, and my mother was very nervous and worried about what people thought. They weren't monsters, but it wasn't a good childhood. ↗

None of my characters seem to have had sex yet - I haven't written about that. And I wouldn't want to deal with what's happening in Oregon - the school shootings. ↗
