Nothing pleases me more than when a character develops a distinct life of his own -- like Tim Hunter in The Mirror of Doom. Tim was always the main character in that book, but the novel was not originally written in his voice. In the first few versions of the book, I had used third person viewpoint for narration. Radically revising the story and putting it in the voice of 12-year-old Tim brought The Mirror of Doom to life. That was exciting to me.(less)

The Clever Mouse

A question on Quora asked for our best "one time my dad" stories. I couldn't resist sharing the following:

One time my dad was outsmarted by a mouse.

The poor creature had somehow gotten trapped in the microwave vent, which opened into the attic. If something wasn’t done, it would eventually die — and that possibility nearly broke my sensitive, animal-loving teenage heart.

Besides, there’s nothing my Read more of this blog post »
