The themes in my books, like in life, are about grace and redemption and you never know when they're going to show up and what form they're going to be in. Stories emerge from keeping your heart open to the people that cross in front of you or the dogs or the mice, and their ability to open you up and enrich your life.

Kate DiCamilloI love words; I love the way they sound. Once I've worked on everything else, the last drafts of my books come down to how they sound.
