included on time magazine's list of the world's $100.00 most influential people alongside bill clinton nelson mandela and the dalai lama. she had won fans around the world and a few critics. a common fan and i received a letter from a young fan who said she'd love to thier floor to read it why was there only one girl the next to meet you and then. i felt really guilty. i thought oh look you've been doing the same as all women we like boys so we write about boys and turn them into the heroes of our stories. instead of saying i'm a female writer what and i have a female heroine so i promised the reader that my next hero would be a girl and that was mickey in cat into its use of the hook as that happened often that readers young ones are older one is have made suggestions. that is yes for example in my chick series a reader gross asking to see a shot is far better that happens every so often and it can be very inspiring and so on the readers get so immersed in the worlds i've created i often say that i hear my readers footsteps and heart beats in those worlds and sometimes they love them so passionately
