But I became the kid chased by werewolves, vampires, and evil clowns in Stephen King's books.

I don't write to protect them. It's far too late for that. I write to give them weapons–in the form of words and ideas-that will help them fight their monsters. I write in blood because I remember what it felt like to bleed."
