The dark book has been terribly popular. Dark characters, dysfunction, and all sorts of things from reality that are true in our world.
From Jan Karon
Cynics will say there are no good people out there. And if you read the papers and watch TV news you could be convinced of that. But there are good people.
There was a lot of brokenness in my family. Let's just say that I was raised by my grandparents.
When I open many books, or most leading women's magazines, or see almost all TV shows, I don't find myself at all. I am completely anonymous. My value system is not there.
I have raced against the clock since I went into advertising at the age of eighteen.
For a very long time, I wrote a book a year, and was eager and willing to do it, to put bread on the table, to have my work out there. Now I must write a book every two years, and that's never enough time, either.
Well, I think some people are very happy in retirement. And in a year and a half I'm going to see how happy I feel in retirement. I'm just going to not work quite so hard, but I'll continue to write as long as God gives me breath.
I've put everything I had and I've given my readers 120 percent, and that's the truth.
Let me say that I absolutely loved writing 'A Common Life,' because it was a book about love.
So here is what my advice would be: If God has given you a dream, you'd better get cracking because He wants you to use it. That's why He gives them to us in the first place.
