Quote

I love all of my books. They were labors of love; I was striving to create something well done, and I do feel I succeeded.

As a child, I loved story books and wanted to be in them so desperately and live the stories.

I still feel, as I did when I was six or seven, that books are simply the best way to experience a story.

I love books. I read voraciously, and I happened to have been fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time.

I loved to read and to write, but then something happened. As I made my way through school, I kept getting handed books to read that didn't excite me and didn't even remotely connect to the realities of my life.

I love seeing my book on shelves and getting letters from people who liked the book. I love telling stories and having other people tell stories to me.

Storytelling is my passion, and it rises from a love of reading.

I loved to read when I was a kid, and as soon as I realized that an actual person got to make up the books I loved so much, I decided that that was the job for me.

Books are the heart of any home, and I spend hours going through books for design inspiration.

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