What is the aim or goal of your writing: "I write nonfiction to share ideas with adults working in libraries about new ways of thinking about providing services. I write fiction for teenagers because I am passionate about working with teens, and want to write about the things for which they are passionate. Passion is, after all, no ordinary word."
