Love is messy. If you really love someone, you can't avoid the pain. People die, people leave, things change, but sometimes it all works

By sharing an experience, or creating an experience that we all go through where the character survives - though not easily, I always say that it's victory at a price - does give people hope.

That is what touches me most. When somebody says: you really made a difference.

It's hard to make changes. Things get so comfortable and you don't want to move. Maybe it would do you good to be a little uncomfortable for a while, and do something different.

I just write all the time! I'm always working. I usually work on several books at once.

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

I don't just want to catch some guy and have a bunch of kids. I want to make something of myself.
