I feel like I'm addicted to the printed word.

I didn't expect to be doing a whole bunch of Amber Browns. And because it was just one book, and the father had moved away, I didn't realize I was going to have to deal more with shared custody, divorce and all those issues

I want to keep meeting new people, enlarging my circle of friends. I have great friends now... really good people. But I'm always ready for what comes next

I made the choice long ago to write about real life. And life is both serious and funny.

In my next life, I want to be tall and thin, parallel park and make good coffee. But for now, I have lots of stuff to work out in my life, but I'll have that until the day I die. I want to write more books

I'm very lucky. I'm very fortunate that my books have never gone out of print - none of them

Pistachio nuts, the red ones, cure any problem.
