If your feet are firmly planted on the ground you'll never be able to dance.

I write 'by the seat of my pants.' I love to do research. I am inspired by contemporary writers and contemporary events. I live in the real world.

I am more of a suspense writer. A mystery writer solves mysteries. I am a 'high suspense' writer.

The greatest compliment a writer can be given is that a story and character hold a reader spellbound. I'm caught up in the story writing and I miss a good deal of sleep thinking about it and working out the plot points.

I was just as voracious a writer as I was a reader.

After the children grew up, I began to focus on my writing. My first books were part of a trilogy... The 'Wind Dance' trilogy.
