I Have Been Called A

I Play With My Grandchildren. I Tend To My Garden, Which I Love. Of Course, I Love To Read, And Family Is Really What It's All About.

My Sense Of The Family History Is Somewhat Sketchy, Because My Mother Kept A Great Deal To Herself.

Once In A While I Experience An Emotion Onstage That Is So Gut-wrenching, So Heart-stopping, That I Could Weep With Gratitude And Joy. The Feeling Catches And Magnifies So Rapidly That It Threatens To Engulf Me.

These Days, People Like Me Who Are In The Arts Are Perceived As Celebrity Writers. That Really Makes Me Angry Because I Expend A Great Deal Of Effort And Spend An Enormous Amount Of Time On My Books. And I've Been Writing Now For 35 Years.

Singing Has Never Been Particularly Easy For Me.
