"I woke up three years ago with the idea for a novel. Since then, I've experienced the joy of words seeming to pour from my fingertips just when I need them to, the surprise of a new character suddenly appearing from nowhere, the frustration of word block and tip-of-the-tongue forgetfulness, the high of getting the first paperback proof copy, the low of discovering that friendship does not necessarily equal reviews, and possibly everything in between"
