Motherhood is not for the faint-hearted. Frogs, skinned knees, and the insults of teenage girls are not meant for the wimpy.

I always try to write about believable people.

Not everyone is meant to stay forever.

He was gone, and she was broken hearted, that was all that mattered.

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

I wrote because I needed to and wanted to. It never occurred to me that I'd become famous.

I write about the things that happen to us all. The things that are tough, the things that matter, from a loved one fighting an illness, to losing a job, being betrayed by somebody you trust, all parts of the human condition. No one is exempt from those things.
