I am now the most banned author in the United States--87 books. May I suggest you pick up one of them and see what all the pissing & moaning is about? Self-righteous book banners don't always get to have their way. This is still America, dammit.

My greatest asset as a writer & as an artist & as a man was that I was not afraid to fail since failure was all I knew. That made me fierce & fearless & stubborn & determined to succeed. I still remember holding that first book, boy tears running down my face.

The greatest decision I ever made was to become a writer. I was once a Catholic Priest. I left the priesthood & at the age of 30, I began my journey to become a writer. I had no money but I had a heart that was bursting with words & those words made me fearless.

The journey from my iMac to bookstores is long. My editor at Simon & Schuster and I are making final edits of my new YA novel: WHEN THE WORLD WAS HAPPY. It’s the most important novel I’ve ever written. Stay tuned for details. I’m so grateful to have such amazing readers.

@Karolis_G Karolis (what a lovely name), no it isn’t Ari &. Dane 3. But I think it’s the most painful and beautiful and moving novel I have ever written. And the most important.

Finished writing my new young adult novel. Writing. gets easier after wrestling with words for more than four decades. But easier doesn’t mean easy. Writing reminds me of the many ways I’ve failed. I have, however, learned how to love. That matters.

I haven’t posted here for a long time. What the F!!! Is Donald Trump doing in my home page. And who are people who are reposting his nonsense? Trump followers, I invite you to leave my page.

@BenjaminASaenz have you thought about making this a trilogy? i have a vision of what happened after that tries to bridge the teen romance dies at college problem that almost never gets explored and wrote about it. it might be upsetting, but it's very plausible

@dave_1440 @harris_wins Unlike Trump who is America’s number one grifter who will be remembered as a man who didn’t pay his bills and resorted to calling his opponents names—an art any 7th grader can master. Lovely.
