The child from nine to 12 interests me very much. And so, those were the years that I like to write about, when I'm writing.

I can remember being eight, and I like writing about that age of innocence when children still have a sense of wonder.

At the age of eight I became, in my own eyes at least, a writer.

I always love writing about children.

It is extremely important to me to write for children.

I can't seem to write young enough anymore.

When I was 5 years old, my mother read me 'Gone With The Wind' at night, before I went to bed. I remember her reading almost all year.

I have two little children. I didn't want to be missing their childhood while I was away, busy writing about children.

I started writing, or rather, thinking, stories as a child, and at that time the reason was very clear.

I'm still learning my craft, and I've been writing since I was nine.
