"Life is short. Smile while you still have teeth."
This quote by Janet Evanovich emphasizes the importance of appreciating the present moment, as life's duration is limited. The phrase "Smile while you still have teeth" is a playful way to express gratitude for what one has, in this case, one's physical health, and to encourage joy and positivity. Essentially, it encourages us to find happiness where we can, cherish our well-being, and not take life too seriously.
"Falling in love is not like falling into a barrel. It's more like falling off a cliff and building your wings on the way down."
This quote suggests that love is not a predictable or gradual fall, like falling into a barrel, but rather a precarious and exhilarating plunge, similar to falling off a cliff. The implication is that we may not know exactly what to expect when we fall in love, but we learn, adapt, and develop our emotional strength during the experience, much like building wings as we descend. It highlights the unpredictable yet transformative nature of love.
"I was living so fast that I could only see the end of my nose."
This quote suggests a state of being overly focused, busy or distracted to the extent that one loses sight of the bigger picture or their surroundings, metaphorically speaking, they can only see the end of their own nose. It's a reminder that sometimes, in our rush to get things done or achieve success, we may overlook the beauty and richness of life around us.
"Sometimes you have to go through hell, to find heaven."
This quote implies that experiencing hardships or difficulties (going through "hell") is sometimes necessary for one to discover or reach a better, happier state ("heaven"). It suggests that growth, self-realization, and finding joy may come as a result of overcoming challenges in life.
"The best feeling in the world is a job well done."
This quote highlights the profound satisfaction and fulfillment that arises from successfully accomplishing a task or goal. It suggests that personal growth, self-worth, and happiness can often be derived from the sense of achievement when one has completed something to the best of their abilities. Essentially, it's about finding contentment in a job well done and striving for excellence in every endeavor.
What I realized halfway through writing romance is that you start out intuitive, and you make all these choices mostly based on yourself and what you like and what talent you have, and... if you want to have any quality control over your product, you have to stop being intuitive and start being more of an analyst.

Way back before the 'Alex Barnaby' series was first published, we were talking with Dark Horse then about making it into a graphic novel of some sort. We just couldn't get it together at the time; we had too many projects going on. We weren't sure how we wanted to bring it forward.

'Troublemaker' is not an adaptation of 'Metro Girl' or 'Motor Mouth.' It is an original story. The hardest part was probably trying to keep the sound true to the novels. I always write in first person, and it was important to us that the readers of 'Metro' and 'Motor' be comfortable with the change over to a graphic novel.
