The Truth Is Often One's Best Shield.

Generally, If You Preface An Interview Request With, 'i'm An Author Writing A Book,' For Some Reason, That Seems To Open A Lot Of Doors.

I Wrote For Years Before I Was Ever Published, And I Don't Think I Could Ever Stop. That Said, I Was Also A Veterinarian Before I Sold My First Book, And I Still Volunteer My Time To Help With Animal Welfare Causes. So That Is A Career I Would Be Happy To Return To - While Still Secretly Writing Strange Stories Back In My Doctor's Office.

Often Life Asks Much Of You, And You Either Honor Life By Answering With All Your Heart, Or You Cower Your Way Into Your Grave.

The Hope For Our Nation And Our World Lies Within Our Ability To Innovate And Move Forward Technologically.

The Turning Point Was When I Hit My 30th Birthday. I Thought, If Really Want To Write, It's Time To Start. I Picked Up The Book How To Write A Novel In 90 Days. The Author Said To Just Write Three Pages A Day, And I Figured, I Can Do This. I Never Got Past Page 3 Of That Book.
