Quotes
- In this age of video games and cell phones, there must still be a place for knots, tree houses, and stories of incredible courage.

- There are chapters, even whole books that have come easily. Others are murder.
- From the densest, most obscure bit of literary fiction to something that makes your heart race, it all boils down to this: people care about people…. Understand that and you can write anything.
- I began with fantasy novels and loved the wild flights of imagination. That was a drug to me and a world I wanted to join.
