My writings speak of who I am in a multitude of genres.
My Personal Philosophies:
"In school, you are given a lesson to master, then a test will follow. In life, you are given a challenging test that'll teach you a life lesson."
"Life is like a lemon - the sourest experiences will teach you the sweetest lessons."
"If you want to get the best, you have to give your best."
Writing Quotes:
The pen is the tongue of the mind.
Miguel de Cervantes

Anais Nin

William Faulkner

Gore Vidal
Usually, when people get to the end of a chapter, they close the book and go to sleep. I deliberately write my books so when the reader gets to the end of a chapter, he or she must turn one more page. When people tell me I've kept them up all night, I feel like I've succeeded!
Sidney Sheldon
Be like a duck, my mother used to tell me. Remain calm on the surface and paddle like hell underneath.
Michael Caine
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
I never started from ideas but always from character.
Ivan Turgenev
Writing fiction is a solitary occupation but not really a lonely one. The writer's head is mobbed with characters, images and language.
Hilma Wolitzer
It's better to write about things you feel than about things you know about.
L P. Hartley
