Tell me what we had was real, I whisper.
Unfortunately, real life doesn't have a remote control.
the scary part is that people don't realize how much they've changed .
We're in the Chicago suburbs, ruling our 'hood and the streets that lead here. It's a street war, where other suburban gangs fight us for territory. Three blocks away are mansions and million-dollar houses. Right here, in the real world, the street war rages on. The people in the million-dollar houses don't even realize a battle is about to begin less than a half mile from their backyards.

I'm ready for something private, private and real
...there's no rule book or game plan when it comes to the grim realities of our lives.

Everyone who has ever met me for at least five minutes knows I'm a really funny person. I love to laugh and to make people laugh, so writing comedy comes naturally to me.
I lost my dad when I was younger, and I know what it's like to lose a beloved parent.
Two dads have sent me letters that said my books changed their daughters' lives. I send them packages with T-shirts and posters because, come on... that's the coolest.
When I write, it's like watching a movie in my head.
