I can cook a good soup from scratch, this is true, and I do know how to drive a stick shift.

I was a huge fan of J. Courtney Sullivan's novel 'Maine,' and like that novel, 'Saint' is a family saga set in Boston. Irish Catholic family secrets - is there anything better?

What I write about in my novels is also what's in my life.

Over the years, I have come to realize that no matter how satisfying fiction is, it becomes that much better when it actually happened.

Without fail, the first question I am asked at any author event is, 'Are your books based on your real life?'

I have met women who said, 'I started reading you when I sat in the chemo chair, and it made me feel better.' That is as humbling as it gets, to know that you, in some way, made the worst day of their life a little bit better.

I've tried to tell my kids: If you're reading something engrossing, you'll never, ever be bored.

I consider reading to be part of my job.

The world needs voices that are positive and grateful, and that can be me.

I live a life very similar to my characters in that I live a full-blown summer fantasy from June to September. I go to the beach and work there every day.
