The inspiration for my novels comes from the depths of a creative well, based on asking myself questions over and over. I try to write something different each time I sit down to write; I try to surprise the readers.

You're still alive. And that means you'll love and be loved...and in the end, nothing else really matters.

Man and wife were supposed to stay together because they'd made their vows in front of God and family.

Because in the end, and no matter how hard it is, acceptance helps people move on with the rest of their lives.

I may be older and wiser, I may have lived another life since then, but I know that when my time eventually comes, the memories of that day will be the final images that float through my mind. I still love her, you see, and I‟ve never removed my ring. In all these years I‟ve never felt the desire to do so.

The emotions attached to them were like sand castles in the tide, slowly washing out to sea.

If people don't like you, or they think you're strange, then that's their problem.
