“Give me FICTION, REALITY is OVERRATED!”
“Fiction---good fiction, anyway---is dream made flesh, given purpose and drive, and set on a quest to show us the best in us and to give us the power and the tools to dream beyond reality's 'merely good enough' to a vision of what is truly great......and then to give us the stories of men and women of character who in turn inspire those of us who dare to reach for the truly great within ourselves.THAT is why you write fiction.”
“I can't take anything you don't give me. Stop giving me power over your life.”
“Fiction gives us a second chance that life denies us.”
“I want either the fiction to be real or me to be fictional.”
