I was once a single mother, with very few resources, so I have a special place in my heart for women in difficult situations.

I've loved all my books, but I will admit that 'The Man from Stone Creek' holds a very special place in my heart.

I think we all like to get away from our troubles and worries with a good book.

I love writing Christmas stories, especially of the historical variety.

Celebrate creativity and confidence in the face of adversity.

I certainly know there are people in positions of power in the business who lack imagination and, perhaps as a result of that, think of me as 'David'. But I wouldn't really want to work with those people, you know?

I can't imagine ever writing anything of any kind on a machine. I never tried to write either poetry or prose on a typewriter. I like to do it on useless paper, scrap paper, because it's of no importance.

We must permeate the stores with creativity and offer service when and to the degree the customer wants it. Of course, it means offering all the omni bells and whistles they want, like in-store pickup, same-day delivery, and mobile point of sale, and all of this must be done every hour of every day the store is open.
