If I wasn't dead already, I'd said I was having a heart attack.

If you love someone, truly love them, you should never cause them pain. Never fill their eyes with something so close to grief.

When sex is necessary for the plot of a book, or a character development, then I don't shy away from it. Why should I?

Nothing cuts deeper than when another person says exactly what you're afraid to say out loud.

For me the Anita series is built like a mystery series, which means that as much as possible each book stands alone, so you have a mystery to solve from the beginning to the end of the book.

Because everything worth having hurts.

There comes a point when you just love someone. Not because they're good, or bad, or anything really. You just love them. It doesn't mean you'll be together forever. It doesn't mean you won't hurt each other. It just mean you love them. Sometimes in spite of who they are, and sometimes because of who they are. And you know that they love you, sometimes because of who you are, and sometimes in spite of it.
