Bizarre! That's the only word I can use to describe life sometimes. Just freaking bizarre.
Sometimes he seems like a droid--or a drone. Fang of Nine. Fang2-D2.
Sometimes a happy delusion is better than grim reality.
It's okay, Ig." said Fang. "Just give it your best shot." Sometimes the Fangster is incredibly supportive, just not with me.

With my adult books, for the first six weeks or so, it's about 60 percent ebooks in terms of sales. The kids' books, it's like 5 percent. Which means that the parents, the ones that aren't going into stores now, they're no longer buying books for their kids, which is not great.

A lot of people like the idea of eternal love and eternal romance. The notion of love that is more profound and deeper because it is eternal is very powerful.
