I write fun books for older teens and young adults. I value honesty, but also discretion. Cursing can be found in my books, but never the F word. I write about sexual situations, (teens have sex: surprise!) but in the context of moral responsibility. I am not a scientist, but I try not to break any obvious laws of physics. My books have positive messages, happy endings abound. I reject Lord of the Flies in favor of Tunnel in the Sky. I am not afraid of technology, I believe that human values trump technological advances every time, but at the same time, I see that technological advances can impact human behavior. When no one knows their neighbors, there is no village.
