Trinity gave me one of those Hallmark cards that you record your voice and it plays music. When she is very grown, I will still have her voice as a little girl, and that's pretty cool.
Now, I'm sorry, but Trinity isn't a little girl anymore. She's thirteen. (I found out by simple math. LKH was born in 1963, and I discovered an old interview that mentioned her being 40 and having an eight-year-old daughter. Okay. 1963 + 40 = 2003. Add five years to both LKH and Trinity, and you have a woman of 45 who has a daughter of 13.)
Does anyone else have a feeling that LKH doesn't want Trinity to be anything but a little girl, because if her daughter is getting older then so is she?
And this sentence weirds me out:
Just because I write about sex and violence doesn't mean I write for children.
Riiiight. Doesn't that sound like she's saying, "Well, of COURSE I write about sex and violence, just like authors who write for children do! But that doesn't make me a children's author!"
By my daughter's age I was reading some very scary stuff, but she is not me, and stuff like that bothers her.
It could just be that your writing bothers her. Has that ever occurred to you, Laurell? If I were thirteen, I'd be embarrassed about having a mother who wrote bad porn.
I love how JonBoi gives her a DVD about a short, pretty-faced killer who destroys everyone around him as a Mother's Day present.
