You're gifted to do something.
From Karen Kingsbury
You need to get down among the people who are the dirtiest and dustiest, and the depravity, and you need to see Christ's light shining there.
My characters are not plastic.
You don't have love without sacrifice; you can't have sacrifice without love.
I can spend 10 to 15 minutes with someone, and they can tell me what they're going through. I may never have gone through that, but I get it on a really deep level.
As I watched bookstores close, I began to wonder how that felt for the owners. Owning a bookstore was their dream and now they're struggling and seeing those dreams fall apart.
Reader loyalty will stay because I'm not changing.
I developed a deep sadness for celebrities, a pity that they often are caught in a plastic world that runs too hard and too fast, and that many times that world means destroyed relationships with everyone they know and love.
I write about true-life type things.
I write about the trials and triumphs of contemporary life - and often the readers see themselves between the lines of the story.
