Grief was like a seizure that shook me like a storm.

When I was at college there were two things I vowed I'd never do. One was go to a funeral and the other was deal with computers. And then I ended up being a computer programmer in a morgue.

Even when I am writing I usually take a break around lunchtime and go for a little walk to clear out my head.

I won't put myself in a position where I'm vulnerable.

I'm always surprised when large numbers of people buy my books.

rain slowly slides down the glass as if the night is crying.

If everybody, every day, would try to do one thing that pulls them beyond themselves the world will start being a better place.
