Relationships with parents, grandparents, friends, and siblings were important to me when I was young and have remained so throughout my life. Our relationships with other people both shape and reflect who we are. These relationships are infinitely fascinating to explore!

A person isn't a bird. You can't cage a person.

You can't keep the birds of sadness from flying over your head, but you can keep them from nesting in your hair.

One thing I'm interested in is what shapes us: the people? The place where we live? It's both of those and more. That's what I keep coming back to.

I tried. Can't do it. Brain's empty.

The sea, the sea, the sea. It rolled and rolled and called to me. Come in, it said, come in.

As readers can probably tell from my books, I love the outdoors.
