To me, family is everything. I want children to realize how important their families are and what a support system a family is.

I have no special talent, you know. I never took a writing course before I began to write.

I loved teaching. It was my world. I only left because I was overwhelmed with three careers - teaching, writing, and my family.

Many times in my life I've been upset about something and said to myself, "Will this matter in two years?" Not even in two months.

Revision is the heart of writing. Every page I do is done over seven or eight times.
