Q. How did you come to write Aliens Love Underpants!?
I submitted a book about aliens to my editor at S+S and she liked the aliens idea, but made the request for the inclusion of underpants!
So, I wrote another rhyming text which I thought was extremely silly, emailed it to my editor, Katherine, and felt rather embarrassed about the text as it was so madcap. Katherine then rang me 20 mins later in fits of giggles and the rest is history!
