If you sit down and read with your kid, either having your child read to you or you reading to your child at a regular time each day, it deepens the relationship. You don't have to talk about stuff; the story will do that work for you.

I write in my house, at my desk, where I have Christmas lights strung over it to try and convince me that I'm having a good time. I can't really write anywhere else.

I am single and childless, but I have lots of friends and I am an aunt to three lovely children.

I'm at the mercy of whatever character comes into my head.

I decided a long time ago that I didn't have to be talented. I just had to be persistent.
