I have rough plots for two more novellas and a short story set in this world.

My most notable work is a short novella (or long novelette, depending on whom you ask) called Wild. They do say that you write what you know, and while I would write any story that grabbed hold of me and didn’t let go, all of them to date have been horror or dark-themed science fiction, fantasy and thrillers. When I grew to high school age, I read Stephen King, Dean Koontz and Anne Rice almost exclusively (other than the science fiction and fantasy I’d already been reading). I cut my teeth as a reader on books like Terry Brooks’ Landover and Shannara series, The Lord of the Rings, David Eddings’ Belgariad, Tamuli and Elenium series, Anne McCaffery’s The Tower and the Hive, and a lot of other fantasy that often had dark themes.

"He said, well, all the books he had ever illustrated, there had never been a child of color, and they're out there - they should be in the books, too," Pope says. But Pope says Keats - who was white - wasn't necessarily trying to make a statement about race when he created Peter. Peter was among the first non-caricatured African-Americans to be featured in a major children's book. "The point is that this is a beautiful book about a child's encounter with snow, and the wonder of it," Pope says. Pope is the executive director of the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation. It wasn't the point," Deborah Pope tells weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz. And, though this is never mentioned in the text, Peter is African-American. Peter has a red snowsuit, a stick just right for knocking snow off of trees, and a snowball in his pocket.
