Commitment, I finally said. Both people have to be committed. I think if two people are committed to the marriage, if they really want to make it work, then they'll find a way to do it. No matter what happens in life.

It's probably not going to lead to anything. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. If everyone who thought they might fail didn't even try, where would we be today?

Summer romances end for all kinds of reasons. But when all is said and done, they have one thing in common: They are shooting stars-a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, a fleeting glimpse of eternity. And in a flash, they're gone.

That's how I always want to remember my time with you. Like a pure white light, breathtaking to behold.

Working on the plot/story idea for my next novel ... It always takes time.

How far would you go to keep the hope of love alive?

I would be rejected if I submitted any of my novels as romance novels.
