So much of young adult literature has turned dark, almost pathological. It's almost as if there is a race to see who can be the most dysfunctional.

Everyone has some inner power that awaits discovery.

The concept of spiritual healing was something I was raised with.

My grandfather, a devout Christian, had the gift of healing.

Raising or caring for children requires sacrifice and service, which, I believe, heals us from the destructive forces of self-centeredness.

I believe that love is the choice we make to raise ourselves and others to the highest planes of existence.

I believe that we were meant to live as social creatures, to reach out and bless each other's lives.

I suppose I have an active imagination, and writing allows me to live it out.

People are looking for inspiration, and my books are sometimes the vehicles of what people are looking for.

At one time in my career, Barnes and Noble bookstores categorized my books as religious fiction.
