First, I'm an avid reader, mostly of history, and have always thought more should be said about the settlement of the western United States. Hearing a lot of stories told by elders as a child in Oklahoma prompted me to begin writing a western of which I couldn't help but lace with the factual events of the times I knew so well. Thirty years of writes and rewrites later Legend of the Dawn was born. Huh, I guess the rest is history. Good luck Karen, I wish you well. JRW (less)

“Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.”
Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

“I can normally tell how intelligent a man is by how stupid he thinks I am.”
Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses

“The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.”
Tom Clancy

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
William W. Purkey
