Writing the last page of the first draft is the most enjoyable moment in writing. It's one of the most enjoyable moments in life, period.

What's the challenge in writing a novel that few people will read? I'm more than happy writing what I do and have no plans to change that.

To be quite honest, I've been very blessed when I've worked with Hollywood. The studios that have purchased my work to be adapted to film have really liked the work and wanted to stay as close as they could to what the book was.

Because publishing is becoming more business-oriented each day with more examination of the bottom line, it's harder to break out than ever.

The first thing I did when I sold my book was buy a new wedding ring for my wife and asked her to marry me all over again.

My wife, my family, my friends - they've all taught me things about love and what that emotion really means. In a nutshell, loving someone is about giving, not receiving.

Publishing is a business. Writing may be art, but publishing, when all is said and done, comes down to dollars.

Spreading the news is your duty as a Christian, and there are many ways to do this.

Rekindled love is generally short-term.
