None of my characters are rich or famous, and the situations they find themselves in could happen to anyone.

I very seldom, very seldom, even know what my characters look like. I keep it vague.

Crazy things sometimes happen. Do you get my drift? I can't say that everything in the story is completely and a hundred percent Christian. But these are human characters.

All characters come from people I know, but after the initial inspiration, I tend to modify the characters so they fit with the story.

But I was also told to hold doors for women and children, to shake hands with a firm grip, to remember people's names, and to always give the customer a little more than expected.

I don't want to be rich and I don't want to be famous.'
