Hi Tommy! I'm currently reading WALU, and so far it's amazing! I actually loved the cover so much, i honestly never heard of you, but i saw in the bookstore and i fell in love with it! But my question is, i'm fifteen now, and i'm kinda addicted to reading and i would love to write books later, but i don't know yet.. i'd like to know, how was your relation with books and writing when you were fifteen years old?

Hey Judith,
I started trying to get published around 16. That's when I began sending things around to magazines and such. I first got published when I was a junior in high school, but that was a very lucky break. I started my first novel when I was 18, but nobody bought any of my books until was 30!
And of course, I've been reading obsessively for as long as I can remember. :)
