1 " I enjoy writing historical fiction because it allows me to live more lives than just this one. "
― Karen A. Chase
2 " Writing is a solitary endeavor, being an author is not. "
3 " Upon returning home, I asked a Parisian friend who lives near me how she does it. How does she manage to adjust to our grocery stores and our food when she comes back from Paris? I was having a heck of a time with it. She shook her head sympathetically and said, “I remember one time I came back to the States. I went to the grocery store. I stood in the aisles. And I cried. I literally cried. "

4 " Books aren't for decoration, they are to improve the design of one's interior. "
5 " I write what I call “Factual Fiction,” whereby my plot, story and characters are not loosely set in history but intrinsically tied to real events, people and places. "
