Stephen had just come from a class discussion in which several students believed that the right cup of herbal tea would save them from pain and sorrow. Well acquainted with pain and sorrow, Stephen did not contribute to the discussion. He merely crossed these idiots off his list of possible friends.

I wrote eight full-length adult novels in my twenties. None of them were published

I approach serious subjects, and I like to have the good guys win and have the parents among the good guys

But I found my family. I found the right thing to do. I found the way home.

People think they own time. They have watches and clocks and digital pulses. But they are wrong. Time owns them.

I believe my readers are crazy about their parents and want to be just like them when they grow up
