Don't Judge A Man Until You Have

I Love The Way That Each Book -- Any Book -- Is Its Own Journey. You Open It, And Off You Go. You Are Changed In Some Way, Large Or Small, By Having Traveled With Those Characters.

I Enjoy Receiving And Giving Realistic Fiction, For Both Children And Adults, With Strong Characters, Beautiful Language, And Humane Visions.

Once 'walk Two Moons' Received The Newbery Medal, I Decided To Write Full-time. Partly Because There Seemed To Be An Audience Out There Who Wanted To Read What I Wanted To Write, And Partly Because I Could Now Support Myself Financially Through Writing.

I Tried. Can't Do It. Brain's Empty.

Read A Lot, Live Your Life, And Listen And Watch, So That Your Mind Fills Up With Millions Of Images.
