I began as a playwright. Only when I had kids of my own did I start to write for young people. |

| Q: |
|
Does your family help you write? |
|

They help by supporting my efforts, not by giving me ideas, or suggesting changes. |

| Q: |
|
Is writing hard for you? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| A: |
|
Yes. But then it's hard for everyone to write well. I have to re-write over and over again so that on average it takes me a year to write a book. |

|
| Q: |
|
Isn't that boring? |
| |
|
|
| A: |
|
If you do anything all the time it's nice to get away from it now and again. My hobby is photography. |
