There was a point where I really felt I had 'penniless divorcee lone parent' tattooed on my head.

But I was the most unashamed lone parent you were ever going to meet.

When I was in my teens I had issues with OCD.

If you look at top players - Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi - so many had a parent who was domineering to the point where you really had to question his sanity. It was nuts.

I think the next thing I publish will be for children, but I don't really want to be held to that because I also know what my next book for adults will be, and I really like that, too, so it depends. I've always had more than one thing going.

And the idea of just wandering off to a cafe with a notebook and writing and seeing where that takes me for awhile is just bliss.
