“Believing in others is easy. It's believing in yourself that's the real challenge.”

“A drawing begins with 1 line; a story begins with 1 word; a dream begins with 1 idea, and they all die with 1 doubt. Believe in yourself.”

“I truly believe the appeal of my novel ranges in readers from ages 8 to 108. I always challenge myself in my storytelling to make certain that readers of all ages can connect with my character through her journey. I promise you will fall in love with Willow Krimble if you take the journey with her.”

“The question isn't "is your novel good enough?" The question is: "Do you believe in it?”

“My definition of self-published:A printed work distributed by someone who believes more in sharing their story than making a fortune.”

“The person you need to please the most with your story is yourself.”

“Reading is a way to escape the real world. Writing is a way to create a new one.”
