Quotations: "I feel it is extremely important for women to write about women who are strong role models for gifls today. They need something they can sink their teeth into and identify with. Schools and libraries are crying for books about women!"

"My most creative work time is during the morning hours. I get up early, take a brisk walk, come home, eat breakfast, and go directly to my office to write- During the afternoon I do research, handle business, write letters, do errands, and query editors. Writers write!"

"If I had a word of advice for beginning writers it is: It’s never too late to start to write and to make yonr dreams come true. Those dreams may change every few years, but go for it."
