Do You Know What They Call People

I Love My Job, And I Love Books. I Read Anything, Including Cereal Boxes. I Care Deeply About What People Think Of My Books, And I Memorize My Reviews. I Love To Hear From My Readers.

But The Fact Is, I'm Not Work-identified. I'm Not A Lawyer Or A Writer. I'm A Mom, And I'm A Woman, And That's The Kind Of People I Want To See In Books In The Starring Role.

Truly I Never Thought Of Myself As Writing Legal Thrillers, And I Still Don't Think I Do. I Write Stories About Women.

The Truth Is That Every Writer, Whether It's Fiction Or Nonfiction, Is Trying To Write Something Truly Original And That's What I Think I'm Doing.

I Love Everything About Philadelphia, And Its Food Is Like The City Itself: Real-deal, Hearty, And Without Pretension. We've Always Had An Underdog Vibe As A City, But That Just Makes Us Try Harder, And I Love Our Scrappiness And Scruffiness.
