Bite off more than you can chew and then chew like hell.

I love the fact that so many of my readers are intelligent, exceptional, accomplished people with an open-minded love of diversity.

I'm a fan of meeting readers face to face, at reader events, where we're able to sit down and take some time to talk.

I remain convinced that the most valuable use of time for a newly published author is to write a second book that's even better than the first, and a third that's better than the second, and on and on.
