Nobody gets to pick what life gives them

You don't know me, but I know about you...I can't make you live longer. I can't stop you from hurting. But I can give you one wish, as someone did for me.

But they can't know how the dark space inside me is growing. I lie to them. I can't get out of the dark hole. 'Peace is here' it whispers.

I think that hurting gives us a way to measure being happy. How can you know one without knowing the other.

Old characters never die, but I do need to take a break from them in order to create new ones.

Nobody gets to pick their time to die, but living every day to the max is something we all get to do.

I have always been amazed guys read my books and seem to enjoy them. Because I've raised boys, I like to think I can get inside a guy's mind. I try and make the boys talk like guys, sound like guys and react like guys.
