Why I Write

Once upon a time, a reader said to me, “Your books got me through a terrible time after I was seriously injured in a car accident” and I’ve treasured that remark to this day.

A person can write novels for a lot of reasons, but I think a lot of readers are like me. When I read, the goal has always been to step into a different world for a little while and not worry about my own for a few hours. That ability to transport the reader is what I have always loved about good books.

So, as a writer, if I can help make a person’s day a little brighter, a little easier to bear? Already worth it.
