Tato autorka se věnuje psaní s misionářským zápalem, který pramení z její rodiny kazatelů. Jejím hlavním zájmem je psaní o dospívajících, protože se domnívá, že se s nimi často zachází nespravedlivě. Její díla, často označovaná jako literatura pro mladé dospělé, jsou ve skutečnosti určena i pro rodiče. Bez ohledu na téma, ať už jde o sociální nespravedlnost nebo citlivé otázky, její příběhy jsou vždy plné černého humoru a lehce lascivní, čímž čtenářům přináší jedinečný a zábavný pohled na svět.
