Ricky Had Taught Me A Few Cuss

I Don't Start A Novel Until I Have Lived With The Story For Awhile To The Point Of Actually Writing An Outline And After A Number Of Books I've Learned That The More Time I Spend On The Outline The Easier The Book Is To Write. And If I Cheat On The Outline I Get In Trouble With The Book.

In Life, Finding A Voice Is Speaking And Living The Truth. Each Of You Is An Original. Each Of You Has A Distinctive Voice. When You Find It, Your Story Will Be Told. You Will Be Heard.

I Always Do Book Signings With The Same Blue Pen. That Way, If I Add A Personalised Message To A Book I've Already Signed, It'll Be In The Same Colour As My Signature.
