Personal life

Hecht has purposely revealed very little about her personal life. According to her publisher's website, she lives in the winter on the east end of Long Island, New York, and spends summer and fall in Massachusetts.[3] In an interview with Publishers Weekly, Hecht said that the good reaction she got from her fellow schoolchildren gave her the idea to keep writing. "It's nice to look at a group of people and see them all smiling and laughing," she said. Hecht is somewhat reclusive about publicity, rarely giving interviews and avoiding the internet. She prefers to write by hand, sitting on a couch, and faxing her work back and forth to a typist for editing.
