My four-year-old daughter is soon going to be old enough to look at the children's books upstairs. I don't want her to accidentally read something she's not supposed to.

From what I gather, it was like he wasn't too concerned.

It's just really silly, if you think about it. I don't know why they can't just put everything into one section and keep it at that.

The children's department is split up. It doesn't make any sense why they did that.

The larger things that this book -- and all my books -- revolve around are a woman's id, ... And how she defines herself in the world around her. ... I've always been interested in issues of what has been defined as maternity and how it's changed. ... For both Kate and Kitty, they're twins in a way; I didn't want to whack the reader over the head with it, but with Kate, her mother was the sun that everything revolves around, and for Kitty, it was about a mother that wasn't there.

I read several books on possession and exorcism and did some study on epilepsy. I tried to look at everything from a birds eye perspective and not let my own point of view get in the way.
