The firefly only shines when on the wing, So it is with us--when we stop, we darken.

I really care about my readers. I care about anyone who reads my books.

Even the roughest character, underneath all that hurt, is someone who wants to love and be loved.

Let's just say that I was raised by my grandparents.

I learned not to be so bitterly defeated when my fiction took a beating from editors. I learned in advertising to color in the lines and have my work done on time and to make it the very best it could be.

...weary of k knowing too much and understanding too little.

Writing is a way of processing our lives. And it can be a way of healing.
