“Something about stringing words together until you get them right is magical; that something is why I love to write.”

“Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.”

“I love books. I really, really love them. There's something special about bringing people and books together”

“Magic doesn’t mean to earn something or to get something. Magic is the will power. You can grow crops, but you can’t create them. Difference is, one is the will power and the other is temptation. Magic selects the eligible but can’t give them the proper direction.”

“Scraps of Magic:These are little scraps of magic & when you paste them together you get a memory of something fine & strong, she said. Sometimes it takes till you're 40 to see it though.”

“I hope that I capture something in my work that is about the elusive, the magical and powerful and the transformative. The writing in itself is transformative for me.”
