“I love my career. It is a career. A difficult one that takes many hours and total dedication to my craft. It is also what I was born to do--tell stories and entertain.”

“Confession: I don't want to be one of my characters. I'm mean to them sometimes. Really mean.”

“I heart my job. I get to make things up for a living.”

“I wish life were a fiction novel. Then everyone would have to do what I say.”

“I would make a HORRIBLE outlaw. I can plan the crime perfectly, but I'd also need to plan the outcomes to make it work.”

“I think people need hope when times are tough. I think they also need escape and adventure and fantasy. Books are like cheap mini vacations.”

“Wait, I'm not done.. We didn't have a stuffed bear. And, since I'm not even sure what sort of beast a teddy bear is or where one would find it, I brought you a stuffed baldric instead. It will have to suffice." -Prince Quinn”
