Cause When There's Life There's Still Hope

Our Great Problem, Is That Children Now Know Whatever They Want To Know - At The Press Of A Button They Can Discover All Horrors Of The Adult World. They Know Very Early On That The World Is Sometimes A Very Dark, Difficult And Complex Place, And The Literature They Read Must Reflect That. Otherwise We're Just Entertaining Them To Pass The Time.

It's The Teacher That Makes The Difference, Not The Classroom.

I Don't Know, But I Do Think That Everyone Has A Story To Tell. The Question Is, Can They Find The Voice And The Confidence To Tell It? We Lack The Encouragement As Young People To Believe This; We Very Often Think That Writing Is For Clever People, Which It Isn't.

Wherever My Story Takes Me, However Dark And Difficult The Theme, There Is Always Some Hope And Redemption, Not Because Readers Like Happy Endings, But Because I Am An Optimist At Heart. I Know The Sun Will Rise In The Morning, That There Is A Light At The End Of Every Tunnel.

Characters Are The Key To A Good Book. It Took Me Several Novels To Comprehend That.
