I Love You More: Inspiration

The main inspiration for I LOVE YOU MORE was the character Picasso. Character is how stories initially find me. It’s not that they come to me fully formed. It’s more like they present themselves as shadows. I’ll get a feeling, an essence if you will. Sometimes it fades away within a few hours or a day, and other times it continues to form, and, as it does, so does the story. Picasso’s character gr Read more of this blog post »

“without truth behind them, words are just a bunch of letters.”
Jennifer Murphy, I Love You More

“A wise friend of mine, my teacher and mentor at the police academy in Detroit where I got my training, once said that there are three worlds: the world we know, the world we are yet to know, and the world we don’t even know exists. He said a good cop is always looking for that third world.”
Jennifer Murphy, I Love You More

“Now, of course I’d known the general meaning of the word secret before I looked it up that day, but as I’ve come to understand, none of us really knows the entire meaning of a word because of the very fact that so many words are overused and misused.”
Jennifer Murphy, I Love You More
