![]() I loved the feeling of putting CHAPTER ONE on top of the first page and writing until there was a satisfying ending, or until one of my teachers caught me writing instead of paying attention in class and confiscated my book. Of course, back then my novels were just loose-leaf paper stapled together, but the stories were mine and I was proud of them. ![]() I always say I started writing novels in second grade. Parking lots were our playgrounds and fire hydrants were our sprinklers on hot, sticky summer days. I went to public school, and when I didn’t have dancing school or piano lessons, I spent my free time jumping double dutch on the sidewalk and riding my bike up and down the block with my friends. A lot of people ask me what it was like growing up in the Bronx, so I’ll say it was probably just like growing up in any other inner city. I was born and raised in New York City, in the borough of the Bronx. It's hard to write about myself, especially since I don't think I've had the most exciting life. ![]()
