My first book, as I said, was Space Monsters. And [I] wrote the book and drew the pictures, and my teacher stapled the pages together and forced the class to listen to me when I read the book, and I realized the power that an author has. And that’s really when I began.
But many of my books deal with topics which I began doing when I was a child. When I was in third grade and everybody else was writing their addresses, their name and the street they live on and the city and the state, I put down the name of the planet that I lived on and the solar system, Milky Way Galaxy in the universe.
