In her own words ...
Judy Blume became my hero the very moment I read Sheila the Great. From then on, I knew I wanted to be a writer. I fondly remember each and every writing camp I have ever attended. I knew that the "power of words" was unlimited and felt that very power whenever I saw my stories and my poems come alive on the page. But I have never felt that power more than when I saw the reaction young GLBT kids had after reading The Trouble with Emily Dickinson. Knowing that I help kids feel normal and proud of who they are, simply though the written word, is an awe-inspiring thing.
I write for many different audiences, choosing to dabble in words the way painters dabble in colors. I love to mix genres and sample a bit of everything that requires the use of the written word.
What better way is there to make a living?
