We Can't Control What People Do Or

I Love My Job, And I Love Books. I Read Anything, Including Cereal Boxes. I Care Deeply About What People Think Of My Books, And I Memorize My Reviews. I Love To Hear From My Readers.

The Truth Is That Every Writer, Whether It's Fiction Or Nonfiction, Is Trying To Write Something Truly Original And That's What I Think I'm Doing.

You Can Really Help Support A Character If You Understand The Setting. So For That Reason I Generally Write About Philadelphia.

But The Fact Is, I'm Not Work-identified. I'm Not A Lawyer Or A Writer. I'm A Mom, And I'm A Woman, And That's The Kind Of People I Want To See In Books In The Starring Role.

I Like Terrific Writing, But I Also Like A Terrific Story. My Favorite Books Have Both, And They're By Contemporary, Commercial American Writers.
