- I try to write with integrity and respect for young inquiring minds, hoping to create worlds that are not only valid and worth opening up to
^^em* ^ut enriching and enjoyable as well.
. There is much that is violent and brutal in todays world, and young people especially the minority youth, are certainly aware of the unpleasant realitis
of life. I want to write with a sense of reality and yet not equate realism with all that is ugly and sordid, for there is still some goodness and beauty
in the world, and we need books that touch the imagination and the hart.
Thru some of the characters in my books, I hope to convey such qualities
as gentleness, sensitivity and a love of humanity, and to write of warm and
meaningful relationships between people, ^
