books child good mark wonderful writer written
My inspiration for writing is all the wonderful books that I read as a child and that I still read. I think that for those of us who write, when we find a wonderful book written by someone else, we don't really get jealous, we get inspired, and that's kind of the mark of what a good writer is.
brothers family works
Looking back, I see that I write books about brothers and sisters, about what makes up a family, what works and what is nurturing.
