Katherine Paterson

I love writing for young adults because they are such a wonderful audience, they are good readers, and they care about the books they read.

Kids often ask me if characters are real or made up - and I always tell them, 'I hope they're real but I made them up.'

It is always sad to write about prejudice, but sometimes when we see it being played out in the lives of fictional characters, we can recognize it in our own lives.

One Moment in Time because I think it describes me as a person and how I felt about being on the show.

I've been watching 'Game of Thrones,' and I can't wait for 'Bored to Death' to come back, it's one of my faves.

Most women I know are priestesses and healers... We are, all of us, sisters of a mysterious order.
