I love meeting my readers - so the more I can talk to at one event the better!

You want to write something as good as what you've read.

People changed. Even the people you thought you knew as well as you knew yourself.

You don't have to say I love you to say I love you," you said with a shrug. "All you have to do is say my name and I know." ..."Can't you hear it?" you said. "When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it's safe inside your mouth.

Every year I tell myself that I’m not going to read any reviews and then I do. We’re all human and when I read something negative it hurts.
