M: Thanks for agreeing to this interview, Miss Lerner. OK, so I have a few questions. First, when did you know you wanted to write children's books? ,F: Well, I studied creative writing in college, but after I graduated I worked in advertising. It wasn't until I had my own children that I got interested in children's books. ,M: Did you write one for your kids? ,F: Yes, I did. My best friend drew the pictures for me. ,M: And did they like it? ,F: They loved it. A friend of my husband saw a copy in our home and he showed it to a publisher that he knew. They published it that year. The next year, I wrote 3 more books. Since the beginning, I have had a total of 8 published.
(A) M: Wow, you have published 3 books. (B) M: You're so good. You've published ten books in total. (C) M: Just a minute! I do not quite follow what you are saying, would you mind repeating that? (D) M: You're awesome. Eight books have been published.
