With a young-adult series, you need to get a lot of books out on the market quickly. Teenagers aren't going to wait years and years for the next book.

I'm looking forward to writing more novels for young adults.
I think it's so important for young readers to find a book or series that ignites their passion for reading, especially boys, whose interest in reading wanes as they grow older.
The distinction has blurred between young adult and adult books. Some of the teen books have become more sophisticated.
With few exceptions, the publishing industry has come to a consensus: if a book has a young protagonist, and if its worldview is primarily interested in the questions that crop up when coming of age, then it's a young adult novel.
To see what books were available for my older students, I made many trips to the library. If a book looked interesting, I checked it out. I once went home with 30 books! It was then that I realized that kids' novels had the shape of real books, and I began to get ideas for young adult novels and juvenile books.
Why not write a book which is as sophisticated as a book for an adult, but is about the concerns that teenagers actually have?
Some of my favorite books to read are young adult books.
It's - I write the books and let the market find who reads it. I guess a young adult is anywhere from ten to fifteen.
I've never read a young adult novel, though. I'm sure I would love it, but I've never read one.
You'll notice that my books offer great variety. Some are for adults, some for children and some for teens. There are mysteries, historical novels, picture books, love stories and stories of crisis and courage.
