I identify with the characters very closely. At the same time that I`m outside, writing, I`m also inside, experiencing, and it can be very unsettling.

I do have one slightly crooked wheel upstairs, but everything else is ticking along just four-o, thank you very much.

Your hair is winter fire January embers My heart burns there, too.

What is writing? Writing is telepathy.

I always like to see enlightened parents like that; it gives me hope for the future.

Writers write. That's all it is. It is as simple, and as complex, as that.

I want to engage the reader. I'm an emotional writer, in the sense that I would be happy if you re-read a book for the intellectual or the mental part of it, but, the first time, I just like to reach out and grab you, pull you in.
