she's worked hard. she's known for her dark plots and twisted plots. her new book is different. she's teemed up with her daughter, co-author samantha. their adult novel is called "off the page." samantha your first time, welcome. jodi you've been here before. i'm going to start with you missy. when you were 13 what did you say to your mom? >> i was 13 years old and i was daydreaming in my eighth grade french class which i don't condone and i was starting to think about books and what happens when we close a book because i just couldn't believe that the characters staid frozen in time waiting for us to return and breathe the life back into them so i started to kind of play around with the different personalities that characters could have while the book is closed and who they really are when there's no one reading

them. >> and she brought it to you, mom, and you thought, great idea or i don't know? >> my idea is maybe there was a prince stuck in a fairy-tale. when she told me that i thought, my daughter is just brilliant. who hasn't had a literary crush. >> what's interesting to me is writing is in your genes and you knew for a while and you said, this is what i want to do as a writer. >> yeah. i definitely think it's a genetic thing. i know if you ask us how we wrote, it's -- it was very collaborative. we actually sat side by side and speak the entire book out loud. my mom would type because she was angry. >> are you on computer? >> yes. >> and we would -- i would say a lie and she would counter with another line and we would go back and forth like that. and there are moments when we were stumbling over each other to get out this brilliant idea and we realized we were saying the exact same thing.

>> that's very, very sweet. we have the picture the day you guys finished the novel which is just great. what are all the little post-it notes. >> there were times sammy wasn't quite as motivated as she could have been and we had sparkly little glitle pens. and she was writing notes like i'm a love machine and your accent scares me. we would take it and post it. so the very last day we were writing we took all the post-its and took a selfie. >> what happens when there's disagreements because i hear sometimes they can get very intense. >> we actually argue add lot when we were writing, particularly this book. i think it's because sammy felt more confident as a writer she had one under her belt. >> but you had 22 under your belt. >> would sit there and say okay wee going to start off and say the sky is blue.

>> she would say, why, how do you know that. she would really challenge me and i would challenge her. >> did you like billion challenged by your daughter? >> it took many a while. yeah, because part of the process was learning i may haved had more experience but her gut instincts were so strong i had to treat her like a co-author rather than an intern. it was the last day and she came up in the office and was really horrific. >> as was my mother. >> we were screaming at each other. it should have been the last day. my poor husband came up with a steamed platter and said look what i've got for you and we said, we don't need that right now and he said, okay i'll take them down. and then we said leave them and we ate them all. think it made for a tighter more emotional book the second time around. >> and so samantha quickly,

the plot line without giving too much away is about? >> the first book is about bringing this prince who is stuck inside this fairy-tale and really tired of saying and doing the same thing every day going through his story every time someone reads. >> we can just say this.
