I'm a terribly irresponsible eater - I love soft-boiled eggs and chocolate. I never met a chocolate I could not eat.

What intrigues me is the difference in how women experience power, and how men do.

Each book takes anywhere from two to three years to complete, from concept to outline to final edits. I work on as many as five at a time.

In my late teenage years, I developed a real passion for it, and wrote a lot of poetry.

Her life was beginning to make sense again, although she couldn’t say she was enjoying it. But her mind was clear, and her heart was not constantly as heavy. Only when she thought about him. But she knew that in time, she’d survive it. She had done it before and would again. Eventually the heart repairs.

Nothing is irreversible except dying.

For the moment, my life is a little schizophrenic.
