"Having read some of your books I'm really impressed by your approach to children's horror. Both Spell and Spindle and Olive and the Backstage Ghost were surprisingly intense for what I expected for a middle grade story. How do you balance the thread between writing scary scenes that will stick with readers and staying age appropriate."
