Brandon Dorman is Illustrating My New Cover!

I'm thrilled to announce that Brandon Dorman has signed on to illustrate the cover of my new book, The Hotel of Blueberry Goodness. If you've seen the cover for Savvy or The Wizard, or The Slippery Map, then you've seen Brandon's work--it's awesome!

I can't wait to see what he comes up with for Blueberry Goodness!

Thoughts on Writing

"When writers meet, they are truculent, indifferent, or over-polite. Then comes the inevitable moment. A shows B that he has read something of B's. Will B show A? If not, then A hates B; if yes, then all is well." --Cyril Connolly

"Yes, it's hard to write, but it's harder not to." --Carl Van Doren

"Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead." --Gene Fowler

"I always write a good first line, but I have trouble writing the others." --MoliFre

"What no wife of a writer can ever understand is that a writer is working when he's staring out of the window." --Burton Rascoe

"Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else." --Gloria Steinem

"I love being a writer; what I can't stand is the paperwork." --Peter De Vries

"This morning I took out a comma and this afternoon I put it back in again." --Oscar Wilde

"I will tell you a story." --Jesus (Matthew 21:28, CEV)
