I always try to write about believable people.

We are always better than before when those we love inflict wounds upon us.

You could never predict what would happen. There was an element of destiny in everything that one could never account for.

It would be hard for me to overestimate the importance of reading. Nothing can expand the mind and heart like the magic al world of books. .... Our libraries are an essential resource for our children, our communities, and our future.

When you can bring yourself to write about it one day, you will find it all less painful. It is a catharsis of sorts, but the process can be brutal. Don’t do it until you’re ready.

I don't want to have to give up me, in order to be his.

I started writing stories as a child.
