"I am embarrassed to admit that quite a few of [my young readers] have become adults while waiting for me to get my books written."
Oh oh, I'm one of those! And don't be embarrassed. I don't mind in the least. I imagine these books are to me what Harry Potter was for so many of my peers--something you grow up with (or that grows up with you?)! And I love them for it, like I love my oldest friends. As I've stated before: I'm in it for the long haul!
The latter half of this interview read rather like an advertisement for e-publishing. I'm skeptical. No doubt it's becoming a real Thing, and I'm not necessarily adverse to it (missing my old library, I've often wished I had some faster, easier way to get hold of books)--but I don't think it'll ever replace tangible books for me. And I plan on always giving the children in my life real books, not e-readers. But I guess we'll see what the future holds for publishing.
