“I don't think you can reach your potential as a writer unless you're a passionate reader, AND read passionately.”

“When you come to a fork in the road, be still, and see with your mind's eye. There you find the clarity you seek.”

“When you are like the tree, there is oneness with the Earth, Sun and Moon, but still steadfast in your purpose.”

“May Light always surround you;Hope kindle and rebound you.May your Hurts turn to Healing;Your Heart embrace Feeling.May Wounds become Wisdom;Every Kindness a Prism.May Laughter infect you;Your Passion resurrect you.May Goodness inspire your Deepest Desires.Through all that you Reach For, May your arms Never Tire.”

“Lanie Vance, I have loved you from the moment I saw you … I love you with every inch of me. I’m drawn to your fire and passion, and I don’t think I can ever be without it again. I want you every day for the rest of my life.”

“For some reason, when people meet me and find out I'm a writer they always ask if I write children's books. Um... please don't let your kids read my books. Well, unless your kids are in their 30s or something...then yeah, they're old enough. LOL”

“If the voices in your head make you cry, you're a lunatic. Put their words on paper, and you're a writer.”
