I Have No Personal Knowledge Of, Or Experience With, Paramilitary Hate Groups, Or Heart Transplantation, Or Escapees From Maximum Security Prisons, Or What It's Like To Be Profoundly Deaf. But I've Written About All These Topics, And The Books Became Bestsellers. I Figure That If Something Interests Me, There's A Reasonably Good Chance That It's Going To Interest The Reader, Too. As I Approach My Keyboard Each Day, I Remind Myself To Have A Good Time - As Good A Time As One Can Have Doing The Hardest Work There Is.

Life Was Precious. Life Was Fragile. Here One Moment, Gone The Next. Every Second Should Be Milked For All It's Worth Because You Never Know When The Bottom Was Going To Drop Out.

You Can Only Write By Putting Words On A Paper One At A Time.

Even Knowing The Ending Was Sad, I Wouldn't Have Deprived Myself The Beauty Of The Story.
