// AUTHOR QUOTES

“In all of these books I try to do a strong protagonist that speaks about issues that are prevalent now, issues like drugs, for example. And I try to do it in a way that’s not preachy, but I do it so it’s kind of an ‘overcoming’ thing.”

“I was taking a summer credits course in children's lit. I had to write these silly stories, so I did, and the professor was like, ‘Oh my goodness, you've got quite a knack for this. You should look into writing,’ and I thought, ‘I do not want to be a writer. There is nothing in me that wants to sit and write.’ And then the next professor — the same thing. It just went on from there.”
