When I go into schools to speak, I am not giving a speech - it's really a one-man show. I call it 'didactic standup.'

In terms of age, I think I've covered about as wide a range as is possible, having written everything from picture books to early chapter books to middle grade novels to YA to one adult novel - and having been editor and lead writer for a magazine for retired people!
