Being an amazing Idol

Hi Phyllis! I’m 14 years old and I’m a huge fan of yours, I love the Alice books the most, I’m sure besides Shiloh that’s what you’re most known for :). I’m an aspiring author and I’ve read so many young girls who said that you are their idol and their inspiration, how does that feel for you as a person and an author?

I never wanted to be an idol, but it makes me extremely happy if I’ve inspired anyone to live a happier, more meaningful life.  I think it was beneficial to me also to write the books and have to live in the body and mind of Alice for 28 years.  My family might disagree with that, but I know they liked my books too.
