I try to give people hope. Even though life is bleak, there's hope out there.
My kids are more precious to me than anything. I'm with them all day, and I write all night.
I think I'm very real as a person, and that comes across in my work.
I'm a terribly irresponsible eater - I love soft-boiled eggs and chocolate. I never met a chocolate I could not eat.
I'm not an aging gracefully type. But I do believe in aging with grace.
I publish six books a year now, which is very exciting. But it keeps me into my typewriter at all times! Now that my children have grown up, I'm with my typewriter 20 hours a day.
