awww... i read nancy too... and the hardy boys. at least until my mother started to tell me that she couldnt find any at the bookstore but she she knew this other guy who wrote some great stories instead called william shakespeare.

things i learned by attempting to write a children’s book -
1. i had a deprived childhood
2. my mother was responsible
3. she’s also responsible for the fact that i dont have to spend my adulthood reading the classics coz she already took care of it when i was little.
4. kids are a tough audience
5. i spent my childhood reading about the adventures of another ethnicity and i never even realized it
etc etc
