I have a simple rule: I write the books I want to read. About fascinating people just trying to survive - facing lousy odds sometimes, insurmountable barriers. You'll notice I rarely have one hero, which breaks the rules of conventional authorship. But I can't help it. People everywhere are heroes, have been heroes, and want to be heroes, if given half a chance.
I started out life getting picked on a lot. I discovered the world is full of bullies. So I talked to my parents and they said "stand up for your rights and the rights of others around you."
Teach your kids to be brave, to believe in themselves, to believe in a just world. I know it’s not fair - but that's no reason not to stand up to bullying. Sure, you might get a nosebleed once in a while. But it will be worth it.
