I've read that you're Mormon, and that made me pretty happy because you are my favorite author and I'm Mormon too! It's hard nowadays to find authors or books that are safe for kids. I do have one question though. Why do some of your books swear? I'm a big reader, and I just got my cousin to read your books. She had been asking me for book recommendations and I was so happy that I had a good author to recommend!

Because there are times, my dear, when stamping your feet and saying, "Oh, poopy!" just won't cut it. Like when you find out after years of being married, that the reason why you can't have children is because you're STILL under a curse, and the bad guy is going to kill your husband and the rest of your family. (PRINCESS OF THE SILVER WOODS) I would never write a book that I couldn't let my mom or my bishop read, though, so you don't need to worry.
