Quote

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

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

My goal is to teach readers how to treat and respect themselves and each other in an entertaining way. I do that in all of my books.

I concentrate on the lives of individuals whom the reader comes to know and feel with intimately.

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.

I think that if you write what you love to read, that will be what your audience wants to read, too.

The folks who read my books are so passionate about each one of them that the people making my movies are more afraid of my readership than they are of me.

I love the fact that so many of my readers are intelligent, exceptional, accomplished people with an open-minded love of diversity. But even more than that, I love it when my readers find lasting friendship with others of my readers - knowing that they met through their mutual affection for my books and characters makes me happy!

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

I want my readers to feel, to think, sometimes to laugh. But most of all I want them to enjoy a good read.
