Quote

I hope children will be happy with the books I've written, and go on to be readers all of their lives.

I can always track my career by the children - I started writing right after the 14-year-old was born, and sold my first book just in time to pay for the birth of the 12-year-old.

I sell a lot of ebooks from my website and encourage authors to set up their own stores.

If the books are selling, the money will follow.

Together, Amazon and I are giving readers what they want - inexpensive, professional ebooks.

I would trade any writerly success if it would mean my children would be happy.

I love making books for children. Big kids, little kids, old kids and new.

I've been saying for years that readers want inexpensive ebooks.

I always wanted to write for children. When I was growing up, we were really poor. My mother had left, and it was all a mess. So I lived in my head a lot, and I would get lots of books for Christmas - from librarians and teachers - and they just fed my imagination.

You have to remember that in addition to running a literary agency, I am also an ebook publisher.
