Creech maintains a loose connection between her novels. The fictional town of Bybanks, Kentucky, on the Ohio River plays a part in the life of almost all of her protagonists. Often a character mentioned in one novel will surface in another novel. For example, Mary Lou Finney who is a minor character in Walk Two Moons (1994) is the main character of Absolutely Normal Chaos (1990).
Along with writing novels, Creech has published poetry and short stories. She has also written a play that was produced in New York City in 1992 entitled The Center of the Universe: Waiting for the Girl.
Today, Creech continues to write novels for adolescents and to teach and live in England with her husband. Creech and her husband live in England during the school term; during the summer months, they live in Chautauqua Lake, New York. Creech enjoys seeing her children, who both live in the United States, and spending time exploring her home country.
