I don't need a man to be happy. I had a great one , that was good enough. I don't expect to find another one like him, and why settle for anything less? I'm going ot be perfectly content alone.--Marya

You don’t know how lucky you are, my dear. Don’t waste it with regrets of the places and people you have lost. You have a lifetime to fill, so many good times and good years and great people ahead of you. You must rush to meet it.

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

A book begins with an image or character or situation that I care about deeply.

To be able to touch lives, and touch a life that you don't even know, is an extraordinary thing.

Life, a good life, a great life is about "Why not?" May we never forget it.

I always try to write about believable people.
