ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:What was the inspiration for the secondMarge In Chargebook?
My brother was staying with us in London while I was writing, and his mischievous toddler inspired Zara.
Kids make the most wonderful editors.
HarperCollins
If the story becomes boring, they just walk out of the room.
I am not writing the books for 30-year-olds, and I just want to c’mon my audience.
Do you still make up bedtime stories for them?
What is your writing process like?
Do you have any rituals or routines?Writing is not a solitary thing for me.
Im never completely alone.
I have a dialogue with my publisher and editor, and I talk about Marge all the time.
I write in a bookshop near my house.
I sneak away at 10 every morning and punch in away.
Its never quiet there and I chat to people, which gives me the perfect excuse to take breaks.
Whenever I get writers block I just eat another croissant.
I am the worst procrastinator!
But the thing that always sparks my creativity is fear of my deadline.
What are your familys favorite books?Wow, that is such a hard question!
Laughter is such a wonderful way to connect with kids.
But stupidity is the universal bedrock of humor.
Everyone young or old from any culture enjoys laughing at someone they feel is stupid.
Winnie the Pooh is my favorite book character.
He is just adorable: a loveable idiot.
A.A. Milne is one of my favorite childhood authors, along with Roald Dahl and Enid Blyton.
Youve said in the past that you loved theMr.
Menbooks (which my son also loves!).
Who is your favorite character, and why?Mr.
Menwere the first books I fell in love with as a kid.
I adored the illustrations and would copy them and draw my own versions of the characters.
The books also fit so nicely into a tiny hand and are not too heavy.
The repetition is good for learning diction, and my favorite character as a kid was Little Miss Chatterbox.
I could definitely identify with her!

Whats up next for you?
Any more writing projects?ThemovieTag, a movie calledThe Beach Bumwith Matthew McConaughey and directed by Harmony Korine.
