I want to kick-start your imagination and let you discover the places it can take you.

I remember one winter, when I was about five or six, I spent three days with another boy, tracking a bobcat that had been sighted in another county fifty miles away, but which I was sure had come into our neighborhood.

I have learned to do more with less, so you don't see the big books anymore.

If you don't think there is magic in writing, you probably won't write anything magical.

The reader wants to see something happen between pages one and four hundred, and nothing happens if the characters don't change.

The more complex and overwhelming the threat to a protagonist, the better the opportunity for the author to create a compelling conflict and a dramatic resolution.

We should not be less than what we are.
