Quote

It had to be a book that held my attention and kept me wanting to read it; when my husband finished 'The Road', I started it straight away and didn't put it down until I finished - it was such an achievement and relief to know that I could read, comprehend and, most importantly, enjoy a book!

I never expected my books to do even as well as they have. I still feel grateful for it, every single day.

I remember how a man once got in touch with me to tell me that he was so engrossed in my book that he had to take a day off from work just so that he could finish reading it. Such kind of responses from my readers is extremely endearing, and it keeps me going.

Reading has always been the great love of my life.

What's gratifying is that it's my books that are being read and reread until they're battered over the years. I love that.

I write out of gratitude for all the books I have loved over the years.

I absolutely love reading; it is a fantastic way of unwinding.

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.

I fell in love with reading when I was allowed to choose whatever books I wanted to check out of the library. I was around nine years old when I began choosing my own books in earnest.

Reading was and still is my real joy.
