The Best Books Come From Someplace Deep

When I Started To Write, It Was The '70s, And Throughout That Decade, We Didn't Have Any Problems With Book Challenges Or Censorship.

Determination And Hard Work Are As Important As Talent.

A Person Without Curiosity May As Well Be Dead.

My Characters Live Inside My Head For A Long Time Before I Actually Start A Book. They Become So Real To Me, I Talk About Them At The Dinner Table As If They Are Real. Some People Consider This Weird. But My Family Understands.

The Best Books Come From Someplace Deep Inside.... Become Emotionally Involved. If You Don't Care About Your Characters, Your Readers Won't Either.
