That's What This War Is All About,

Our Great Problem, Is That Children Now Know Whatever They Want To Know - At The Press Of A Button They Can Discover All Horrors Of The Adult World. They Know Very Early On That The World Is Sometimes A Very Dark, Difficult And Complex Place, And The Literature They Read Must Reflect That. Otherwise We're Just Entertaining Them To Pass The Time.

I'm Still Not Sure I Want To Be A Writer. I Think Of Myself As A Storyteller More.

For Me,the Greater Part Of Writing Is Daydreaming, Dreaming The Dream Of My Story Until It Hatches Out-the Writing Down Of It I Always Find Hard.but I Love Finishing It,then Holding The Book In My Hand And Sharing My Dream With My Readers.

Wherever My Story Takes Me, However Dark And Difficult The Theme, There Is Always Some Hope And Redemption, Not Because Readers Like Happy Endings, But Because I Am An Optimist At Heart.

It's The Teacher That Makes The Difference, Not The Classroom.
