Before we met, I was as lost as a person could be and yet you saw something in me that somehow gave me direction again.

Every great love starts with a great story.

Who did she know in Raleigh who took the time off to fix a house? Or read Whitman or Eliot, finding images in the mind, thoughts of the spirit? Or hunted dawn from the bow of a canoe? These weren't the things that drove society, but she felt they shouldn't be treated as unimportant. They made living worthwhile.

Dramatic fiction - William Shakespeare made his biggest mark writing dramatic love stories.

She wasnt exactly sure when it happened. Or even when it started. All she knew for sure was that right here and now, she was falling hard and she could only pray that he was feeling the same way.

Life, I've learned, is never fair. If they teach anything in schools, that should be it.

I hope to be remembered as an author who defined and exemplified excellence in crafting the modern love story.
