About This Quote

I am the character that I write about. I go to great lengths to make sure my writing is authentic and true to what my characters are like. It is important to me that people who read my stories think about what they mean and feel about my characters. If readers don’t see themselves in the characters, then my book will not be as successful or as meaningful as it could be.
