Children are so creative and imaginative that they just bring you to life all over again.
I don't write that much horror. People tell me my books are scary, but they're not really; I don't go there.
I have to tell you, my seven-year-old granddaughter said to my daughter, her mother, 'So what's the big deal about Grandma Maddy having been Secretary of State? Only girls are Secretaries of State.' Most of her lifetime, it's true. But at the time it really was a big deal.
