My husband gets up at around 5.30 A.M., so I'll tuck him in around 9.30 P.M. or 10 P.M., and then I'll go and lie down on the couch with a book and my two dachshunds.

I've had no fewer than three young women on separate occasions come up to me at book signings and unzip their pants, turn around, and drop them to show me that they had 'Bonnie lassie' tattooed across their rumpuses!

If you're going to have more than one person read your book, they're going to have totally different opinions and responses. No person - no two people - read the same book.

I grew up in Flagstaff, and I still own my old family house up there, so I go up there a couple of times a month just to sit for a day or two and work without any kind of interruption, and I usually take a dinner break, and I'll watch two hours of DVD.

Whenever anything bubbles up, I have to put it down. I have bits and pieces all over my hard drive.

When you're reading, you're not where you are; you're in the book. By the same token, I can write anywhere.
