I had to be dragged kicking and screaming to Shelby van Pelt's REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES. I thought it would be cutesy. WHAT AN IDIOT I AM! It was brilliant, funny, deeply affecting. I cried buckets and that takes some doing!#ShelbyVanPelt

IT'S ME, JUDY. The first time I ever read from my first novel in NYC, a woman walked up, kissed me on the cheek, then walked away. I realized only then it was the great Judy Blume ('Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret'). No one was ever kinder to this writer.#JudyBlume

Some writers: “Quincy brought the knife down on Moon's hand and chopped off four fingers. Moon screamed ... a rifle ball shattered the lantern and struck Quincy in the neck causing hot blood to spurt on my face. My thought was: I am better out of this.” Charles Portis, True Grit

In this business, they called me 'The Titleist,' like the golf ball, because other people used to ask me to help title their books. NOW, I'm 103 tries into the name of this new book (not making that up) and I'm thinking, how about 'Pride of the Yankees.' Can't get a break
