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.

If it's meant to be, they'll find a way to make it work eventually.

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

Sing Me no songs tell me no tales cry me no tears, but remember me kindly.

Sometimes, if you aren't sure about something, you just have to jump off the bridge and grow your wings on the way down.

I try to write about the stuff that torments us all.

So often people tell me: you got me through this, you've really helped me. And I never realized that part of what I do is that I give people hope.
