Quote

In course of time my first novel appeared. It was a love story.

Now that I'm in 'Nashville,' the thing that I'm loving the most is co-writing. You walk into the room and you shake hands with someone you've never met before and you walk out four hours later and you've got this thing... sharing ideas and everything, it's almost magical, like a miracle.

I love North Carolina.

I'm always a sucker for a love story.

Love stories are probably all I've ever been able to write or want to write.

It still surprises me when I find something in any North Carolina newspaper that isn't mad at me about something.

I've lived in Kansas for more than thirty years, and for half of those, I was part of a ranching family, so I'm writing about things I know and love.

'Manhattan Love Story' has a very special place in my heart for many reasons. We were very sad to see it go. It brought me to New York, and there's nothing better than getting to go to work and fall for Analeigh Tipton every day.

My wife's family lives up in South Carolina, so we go back and forth quite a bit up there.
