That I can't recall his name offhand must mean she was right!ĩ. My agent felt that one of the brothers was extraneous and asked me to cut him! I gave his lines to the other boys, and. Once Dan Hooton had two brothers instead of just Buddy. Another shows a large face looking in at little furnishings in my story there are no furnishings. The other two covers well drawn, but are inconsistent with the story one shows her on the wrong side of the dollhouse-and the dollhouse itself a brightly painted Victorian building intend of the white new england farmhouse I describe. I like the first one best because the artist, Stephen Marchesi, captured Miranda the way I picture her. Most most of those rejections said the story was too frightening and violent for children.ħ. TIME WINDOWS was rejected six times before being bought by Harcourt. Miranda calls her mom 'Mither' because that's what my brother and I call our mom.Ħ. Some readers have written to me saying they've looked for Garnet, MA on a map, or even tried driving to it. The story first started in New York City.
I still have that hand-written first draft.ģ. (and this was before the Internet, so I couldn't just order new reading matter online!). and wrote to entertain myself whenever I needed a break from studying German novels, and because I'd run out of things to read in English. I lived in an old, drafty rooming house where I huddled next to my electric heater, wrapped in blankets. I wrote the first draft while I was a student in Bonn, Germany. The car radio got poor reception as we headed for the Badlands, so I started telling him a story to pass the time!Ģ. I told the first version of what later became TIME WINDOWS to my boyfriend (who later became my husband) on a cross-country road trip right after college. SO: I'll start with Time Windows, which was my very first book!ġ.
Not just blurbs you can read on the back covers or online, but tidbits of info that nobody knows! and so I thought I'll do a sort of countdown to my new novel's debut by telling you a little about each of the previous books. and a lot of you have asked questions about where I get my ideas for my various novels, and which (if any) are 'true' stories.
Well, I've been enjoying the messages you've written to me via my website and on my Facebook AUTHOR page.
