I'd pretty much given up hope of being published, so I just wrote the book I wanted to read.

I write what I'd like to read and just hope that, along the way, others might like to read them, too.

I wrote in the book very specifically what I wanted to write about, period, and left it at.

I'm still driven by the feeling I had when I wrote my first book or read a Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle adventure.

While I was writing I assumed it would be published under a pseudonym, and that liberated me: what I wrote was exactly what I wanted to read.

When a new book is published, read an old one.
