High School made me realize that the people who say they will never change, are always the ones who change the most.

You say into my cracks and I saw into yours.

I like to build places online where readers can have productive conversations about books.

I hated being careful, too - or wanted to, at least.

Funerals...are for the living.

I have guts, just not when it counts.

What I eventually realized is that the real business of books is not done by awards committees or people who turn trees into paper or editors or agents or even writers. We're all just facilitators. The real business is done by readers.
