I've always been a creative speller and never achieved good grades in school. I graduated from high school but didn't have the opportunity to attend college, so I did what young women my age did at the time - I married.

Some marriages are made in heaven, but they all have to be maintained on earth. Mrs Miracle

I'm an optimist and my heroines seem to be that way, too. It's too much work to be cynical and distrusting. That doesn't mean I create perfect stories and perfect people, however. What this means is that my stories are resolved in a manner that leaves the reader with a feeling of hope and happy expectation . . . and wanting to reach for another one of my books.

I'm dyslexic, although they didn't have a word for it when I was in grade school. The teachers said I had 'word blindness.

I love the way knitting brings people together.

I'd found love -- only to discover how fleeting it can be.

It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again. Just be sure to flush when you are finished. Mrs. Miracle
