Kate Atkinson is an absolute must-read. I love everything she writes.

I would rather raise certain topics and maybe let you ruminate on them. I'm not big on answering them.

No, I don’t live in heartache. I don’t cry myself to sleep or any of that. I am, I tell myself, over it. But I do feel a void, icky as that sounds. And—like it or not—I still think about her every single day.

I like to go out and write. So I'll often go to a Starbucks or a local coffee bar, and I'll sit there and I'll write. I can write pretty much anywhere.

That’s the problem with falling in love. It makes you start talking like a bad country song

Frankly I'm fairly boring or fairly busy. Between writing and family, I have little time for anything else.
