People always ask, 'How do you write so many books?' And I say, I work a lot. I work six or seven days a week. ↗

Twitter is fun because it lets me stay in touch with all my original readers who grew up with my books. I love hearing from readers instantly on Twitter. ↗

When I write, I try to think back to what I was afraid of or what was scary to me, and try to put those feelings into books. ↗
