I've written six novels and four pieces of nonfiction, so I don't really have a genre these days.

If you are hoping to find your self-worth and fulfillment in other peoples' opinion of your writing, you will never find it.

I promise you, it is there. Fight tooth and nail to find time, to make it. It is our true wealth, this moment, this hour, this day.
