... The Book is more important than your plans for it. You have to go with what works for The Book ~ if your ideas appear hollow or forced when they are put on paper, chop them, erase them, pulverise them and start again. Don't whine when things are not going your way, because they are going the right way for The Book, which is more important. The show must go on, and so must The Book.

I believe books should be like a prime rib steak ~ good and thick.

While art thrives on the blazing colours of scandal, literature blossoms on the dark soil of tragedy.

If you cannot judge a book by its cover, surely we should not judge an author by one book alone?

The show must go on, and so must The Book.

Thought for the day: Twitter...140 character limit...must be a great tool for fortune cookie writers...

What is it about us lady authors and our fascination for the exclamation mark?

I know, not everyone will like what I write, but writing is not about trying to please everybody.

Free time is a terrible thing to waste. Read a book.
