While working on a Kids WB show called //Generation O!// she met children’s author James Proimos, who talked her into giving children’s books a try.
==== Thinking one day about //Alice in Wonderland,// she was struck by how pastoral the setting must seem to kids who, like her own, lived in urban surroundings. In New York City, you’re much more likely to fall down a manhole than a rabbit hole and, if you do, you’re not going to find a tea party. What you might find...? Well, that’s the story of //Gregor the Overlander,// the first book in her five-part fantasy/​war series, //The Underland Chronicles.// ====
