Quote

Writers are in the entertainment business, and it gives me lots of pleasure to entertain my readers.

The relationship between reader and writer is reciprocal in a way. We co-create each other. We are constantly emerging out of the relationship we have with others.

My purpose as a writer is to communicate in such a way as to challenge the thinking of readers and touch their hearts.

Writers themselves benefit from all helpful information about their task and methods. Readers, in turn, can have both their understanding and appreciation of literature enhanced by information about the writer's work.

Any writer who gives a reader a pleasurable experience is doing every other writer a favor because it will make the reader want to read other books. I am all for it.

Thanks to social media like Facebook, Twitter and Goodreads, I can easily reach out to so many people. Being a writer gives me the added bonus of a targeted audience: readers, who enjoy targeted 'prizes' for participation in fundraisers - books and other neat promo items.

I think the community that's created within a writers' room is a very interesting topic.

Writing is something that I've always loved. That stems from my love of being a reader.

Writing is like a rollercoaster ride for me, an adventure. I love exploring the world through 'playing' people who are absolutely nothing like me.

The things I write are for those who are willing to accept a new relationship between the reader and the author.
