-How long have you been writing for teenagers?-For ten years. I had been writing poems and little stories since I was a child. I like writing for teenagers. When I wrote for young people, I think about writing the plot.-What writers did influence your writing? -I had read lots of different things since I learnt to read and I think everything had an influence on me. In my early years, J.D. Salinger and Jack London were my favourite writers. I like crime fiction and I am still reading a lot of American crime writers. I also like reading a lot of non-fiction books. -Do you read much teen fiction by other writers?-I usually read a lot. But, when I am writing a book I try not to read much teen fiction.
