he's a story i want to know from page one

That's how life feels to me. Everyone is doing it; everyone knows how. To live and be who they are and find a place, find a moment. I'm still waiting.

I understand that you can never have the whole picture; inevitably, there’s stuff you don’t know, can’t know. But when it comes to Cameron I always want more than I have, would like to be able to take hold of at least one or two more pieces, if only because I’m convinced there are parts of myself inside them.

Some people come into your life and leave a mark.

The kind of life I want is to be a person who would get a personal note every day.

The one reader I'm trying to please as I write is me, and I'm pretty difficult to please.

My books usually end where they began. I try to bring characters back to a point that is familiar but different because of the growth that they have gone through.
