I would like to be able to disappear whenever I do something dorky.

I don't see a day when teenagers don't read. They are very enthusiastic. That is so inspiring to me.

I was a blueberry picker, bindery worker, bookstore clerk and later manager, and a Realtor.

I went to Holland Christian High School in Holland, Michigan, and to Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

I would love to go to Greece.

I love Chris Crutcher, Sara Zarr, Lois Lowry, Elizabeth Scott, Madeleine L'Engle, Gordon Korman, Michelle Magorian, Heather Bouwman.
