Love Was Action. It Came To You.

Listen She Said, Everything Ends, Every Single Relationship You Will Ever Have In Your Lifetime Is Going To End.... I'll Die, You'll Die, You'll Get Tired Of Each Other. You Don't Always Know How It's Going To Happen, But It Is Always Going To Happen. So Stop Trying To Make Everything Permanent, It Doesn't Work. I Want You To Go Out There And Find Some Nice Man You Have No Intention Of Spending The Rest Of Your Life With. You Can Be Very, Very Happy With People You Aren't Going To Marry.

Keeping People Safe Is A Story We Tell Ourselves.

I Have Been Accused Of Being A Pollyanna, But I Think There Are Plenty Of People Dealing With The Darker Side Of Human Nature, And If I Am Going To Write About People Who Are Kind And Generous And Loving And Thoughtful, So What? In My Life I Have Met Astonishingly Good People.

I Craft Everything In The Beginning. I Know Where The Characters Are Going Before I Start Writing The Book.

I Saw That My Best Work Was My Most Personal Work, Which Is Odd, Because My Fiction Is Very Far Afield And Has Nothing To Do With My Life.
