In A Course Of A Lifetime, What

I Love The Way That Each Book -- Any Book -- Is Its Own Journey. You Open It, And Off You Go. You Are Changed In Some Way, Large Or Small, By Having Traveled With Those Characters.

I Enjoy Receiving And Giving Realistic Fiction, For Both Children And Adults, With Strong Characters, Beautiful Language, And Humane Visions.

Relationships With Parents, Grandparents, Friends, And Siblings Were Important To Me When I Was Young And Have Remained So Throughout My Life. Our Relationships With Other People Both Shape And Reflect Who We Are. These Relationships Are Infinitely Fascinating To Explore!

I Once Fell 20 Feet From A Tree, Was Knocked Unconscious, And When I Picked Myself Up And Straggled Home, My Parents Thought I Was Making It Up. However, When My Brother And I Fabricated A Story About An Encounter With A Bear, They Believed That! So Maybe I Learned Very Early On That Fiction Was More Interesting To Listeners!

Sometimes When You Are Trying Not To Think About Something It Keeps Popping Back In Your Head You Can't Help It You Think About It And Think About It And Think About It Until Your Brain Feels Like A Squashed Pea.
