I've always been hopelessly stuck in the present.

No matter how grim things may seem, they always get better.

I always say what's on my mind. No need to second guess with me.

Perfect happiness is knowing that everyone I love is healthy, safe, and content.

October was always the least dependable of months ... full of ghosts and shadows.

I'm very happy being me, although sometimes I'd love to be a bird so that I could fly.

There aren't too many people out there who can start one of my books and not finish it. I don't think too many writers can say that.
