Trying to define
Who I am as an author
Carving a little niche
in the trunk of a very large publishing tree
Writing about real kids in the real world... no magic involved
Unless you count of course a strong character and
Unlikely events that could but probably won't but could happen...
I say "No!" to fantastical wizards or strange uncles with enchanted wardrobes
and "Yes!" to boys and girls who are as ordinary as they are extraordinary.
But why?
Because when a child holds my book and turns the last page
I want him or her to feel as though someone knows what it's like
And it's going to be better than OK
Today will be the magic they make it.
Happy writing,
Rachel
