I like to think of what happens to characters in good novels and stories as knots--things keep knotting up. And by the end of the story--readers see an unknotting of sorts. Not what you expect, not the easy answers you get on TV, not wash and wear philosophies, but a reproduction of believable, emotional experiences.

If you jump to conclusions, you make terrible landings.

Back then I confused passions and orgasms with love. It look me years to realize the two weren't synonymous.

money does not guarantee happiness or peace of mind, it can take your mind off things, distract you, but it can't replace the generic stuff a person needs!

People need to be re - sometimes we need to reinvent ourselves and then get reacquainted with our better selves.

My stories are character driven.

We never thought some guy would deliberately fill our hearts with brown sugar and then pour hot water all over it.
