I spent the next fifteen minutes convincing a crying werewolf that I wasn’t going to hurt her. My life was getting too strange, even for me.

We are not created equal in talent. But the place where we are least equal is the heart. You can work at a talent, take lessons, but love, love either works or it doesn't. You love someone or you don't. You can't change it. You can't undo it.

some choices you make with your heart some with your head but when in doubt choose head over heart.... it will keep you alive. -merry gentry

I am a very linear thinker, so I write beginning to end. I write hundreds of pages per book that never make it into print

Like most creative people I don't fit well into boxes.
