Everybody Is A Hero In Their Own

I Once Got A Huge, Expensive Flower Arrangement From A Person I Didn't Like, Who Sent It Out Of Pure Guilt. It Had A Hideous Bird-of-paradise In The Middle, And I Thought It Would Never Fade And Die. I Hated It.

All I Ever Wanted To Do Is To Write Stories That People Will Enjoy And Feel At Home With.

I'm Getting Better, Happier, And Nicer As I Grow Older, So I Would Be Terrific In A Couple Of Hundred Years Time.

I Don't Think You're Happier If You're Thin Or Beautiful Or Rich Or Married. You Have To Make Your Own Happiness. My Heroines Do Not Become Beautiful Elegant Swans, They Become Confident Ducks And Get On With Life.

Because I Saw My Parents Relaxing In Armchairs And Reading And Liking It, I Thought It Was A Peaceful Grown-up Thing To Do, And I Still Think That.
