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

Not everyone is meant to stay forever.

I completed my first novel when I was 19 years old.

Never settle for less than your dreams, somewhere, sometime, someday, somehow, you'll find them

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.

Nothing is irreversible except dying.

At the moment, I'm enjoying John Grisham quite a bit.
