“Esther's breath quickened. Ruth removed her hand because she was never sure how people felt about touch. A light brush could agonize, whereas a heavy blow might numb, but most excruciating was nothing at all. so Ruth returned her hand...”
Gail Lynn Hanson, The Palisades: A Novel

“I've always been drawn to character-driven stories. People, their thoughts, motivations, and fears all become behavior. If the characters are well-developed they will create their own plot. I, the author, simply listen, watch, and record what they do. It's very entertaining. No one tells you to do this in writing workshops or classes, but It's the only way, for me, to make sure they are actually alive and not a figment of my imagination.”
Gail Lynn Hanson

“Oftentimes, fiction is the best way to see the truth.”
