I remember the day I turned thirty. I was getting out of the shower and I stood in front of the mirror and stared at myself for a long time. I examined every inch of my body and appreciated the fact that I finally looked like a grown woman. I also assumed that this was how I was going to look for the rest of my life. The way I saw it, I was never going to age; I'd just look up one day and be old.

I take what people feel and think, especially when it's different from, very seriously, and I find it liberating.

life is like a jigsaw puzzle, you have to see the whole picture, then put it together piece by piece!

I'm not trying to be a middle aged centerfold, I just want to look at myself naked and not be disgusted.

Write from your heart, and God will take care of the rest.

As far as young kids go, my primary interest is to get parents to read to their kids. That’s about the most you can do, I think.

I let my characters do the talking, simple as that.
