Lying on the front passenger seat, as if it didn't matter, was Rose's Diary. It Mattered.

My favorite book is always the one I'm working on at the moment

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

I decided to write short stories because they got rejected quicker.

But sometimes, in tight corners, when your back is against the wall and the world is against you, you have to fight back in unexpected ways.

When in doubt, shut up.

I get letters from readers who say that they have always hated reading, but somebody suggested one of my books, they actually finished the book and enjoyed it, and they're going on to read another book. I'm thrilled that they have figured out that reading is fun
