Even If It's Not What You Planned,

I Am Really, I Think, Truly An Easygoing, Positive, Fun Person.

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

And When I Look At My Mother, I Reflect On Her Strength And Endurance. She's Cranky Sometimes, But She Is Lovable And Loving. I'd Be Happy To Be There At 86.

And Wouldn't We Be Better Off If Every New Year's, We Thought About The Things We Did Right And We Resolved To Keep Doing Them, No Matter How Wacky They Were.

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.
