I love slow readers. And readers who think about what I've written, think about how it's written - and copy me!

I believe in one day and someday and this perfect moment called Now.

You're a part of me...You're in my heart. Forever and always, all right? —D

There is so much work left to be done in the world and for me, I am hoping to make the change I can and do the work I need to do through this gift I've been given.

Time comes to us softly, slowly. It sits beside us for a while. Then, long before we are ready, it moves on.

You have those walls up all around you...Come a day you gonna want to tear them down brick by brick and gonna find that the cement is all hard. What you gonna do then?

Because I write realistic fiction, I generally don't think about fixing anyone - I just think about how I want to feel at the end of the book - And I try to write toward that feeling.
