LONDON:

Julianne Moore is quitting acting to write more books. Her debut children’s book Freckleface Strawberry is about a seven-year-old girl trying to come to terms with her red hair and freckles. She is planning to concentrate on her literary career. She said, “I’m hoping this book is the beginning of a series. I have an option for the second book and a draft of the third. I showed it to my son, and he said, ‘Mom, I think you need more of a middle and more of an end,’ and I said, ‘But it’s just a draft!’
