I believe the wedding vows are sacred and precious, and it's been one of my goals as a writer to portray the kind of marriages I've seen modeled in my family - my parents and grandparents, who all celebrated fifty-year anniversaries and well-beyond.
God has blessed me with the gift of cheerfulness.
I think perfect happiness has everything to do with learning to be content with what I have.
I always struggle with making the technical aspects of the plot fit with the story that's unfolding in my imagination.
I'm a very girlie girl, but I often find the heroes of my books trying to take over the story. In truth, I enjoy writing the male point of view more than any other.
I've been blessed with so many wonderful women friends throughout my life.
We have four grown children and five grandchildren... so far! So, as you can imagine, family is extremely important to us.
If I could give one piece of advice, it would be 'If you're angry with a family member, talk to God about it, not the other members of your family.'
