― Laura Best, This Is It, Lark Harnish

― Laura Best, This Is It, Lark Harnish

“Life gives us challenges, and it's up to us to decide what to do with those challenges.”
― Laura Best, This Is It, Lark Harnish

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”
― Stephen King

― Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki, Zen and Japanese Culture

“Writing for children is important to me because I want children to develop the same love of books I had as a child.”
― Darlene Foster, Amanda in Alberta: The Writing on the Stone

― Diane McGyver, the Salvation of Mary Lola Barnes
