I jog every day for seven to eight miles a day.
I may not want to write every day, but I have no choice - there are deadlines to meet.
The nice thing about e-books is that if you're sitting on the beach and you finish one Elin Hilderbrand novel and don't want to get out of your chair, you can sit there, buy the rest, and load them on your device.
Americans are really in love with their summertime.
I have no skills! I can't speak French, I can't ski, I can't play the guitar... I can barely log on to the Internet! All I know how to do is write novels (thank goodness) and run, and anyone who has seen me run knows I'm not very good at that, either.
Over the years, I have come to realize that no matter how satisfying fiction is, it becomes that much better when it actually happened.
Without fail, the first question I am asked at any author event is, 'Are your books based on your real life?'
I have long maintained that each of us has three chances a day to be happy: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
