Mostly I get ideas from the people/situations around me. I change the personalities/name and the drama/conflicts a bit - but in actuality they are reflections of real people, painful struggles, honest questions, sincere disappointments and actual moments of triumph. Sometimes that gets tricky - when people recognize themselves...but since I mix things I can always honestly say that there is no one who is really copied - just reflected in some manner. Thanks for asking.(less)

“Books should grow the soul - while the reader has a little fun along the way.”
A.K. Frailey

Topics Mentioning This Author

“We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.”
St. Francis of Assisi

“Books should grow the soul - while the reader has a little fun along the way.”
A.K. Frailey

“No one in the world can change Truth. What we can do and and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it. The real conflict is the inner conflict. Beyond armies of occupation and the hetacombs of extermination camps, there are two irreconcilable enemies in the depth of every soul: good and evil, sin and love. And what use are the victories on the battlefield if we are ourselves are defeated in our innermost personal selves?”
St. Maximilian Kolbe

“The world is not a wish-granting factory.”
John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
