There Is No Lake At Camp Green

Part Of Me Becomes The Characters I'm Writing About. I Think Readers Feel Like They Are There, The Way I Am, As A Result.

I Really Began To Love To Read While In High School, And My Favorite Authors Were My Heroes: J.d. Salinger, Kurt Vonnegut.

The Best Morals Kids Get From Any Book Is Just The Capacity To Empathize With Other People, To Care About The Characters And Their Feelings. So You Don't Have To Write A Preachy Book To Do That. You Just Have To Make It A Fun Book With Characters They Care About, And They Will Become Better People As A Result.

I Guess What Led To Me Writing 'holes' Was Having Moved To Texas In 1991, And It Was Sort Of My Reaction To Texas.

I'm No Good At Describing My Books. 'holes' Has Been Out Now For Seven Years, And I Still Can't Come Up With A Good Answer When Asked What That Book Is About.
