Of all the fan mail R. L. Stine has gotten, there are two that stick out in his mind the most. The first was a girl who wrote, "Dear R. L. Stine, I loved The Babysitter. The same thing happened to me�. Keep up the good work." The second is his 'all-time favorite': "Dear R. L. Stine, I've read 40 of your books and I think they're really boring."
Despite some criticism, Stine remains the all-time best-selling children's author, even ahead of J. K. Rowling. "At one point," he says, "I was doing a Fear Street and a Goosebumps every month, so I did it by doing twenty-four books a year; J. K. Rowling does one a year. She's smart, she has a life." In America alone, the eighty titles of the Goosebumps series have sold million copies; abroad, they have been translated into sixteen languages for publication in thirty-one countries.
Though none of his plots happened in real life, Stine admits to using feelings in his books. "I was a very fearful child�. I remember that feeling of panic.
