There are no dead ends, just detours.
J. D. ROBB, Remember When
I think sometimes fate cuts you a break. Like it says, okay, you've had enough of that crap, so it's time you fell into something nice. See what you make out of it.

J. D. ROBB, Indulgence in Death
I write quickly. That’s just my natural pace. As a result, my publishers had considerable inventory of my books for publication. My agent and editors suggested I write under a different name. I didn’t like the idea, really dragged my feet on it. It took about two years for me to be convinced to try it. My agent explained it this way…there’s Pepsi, there’s Diet Pepsi, there’s Caffeine Free Pepsi. And the light went on in my head! I got it! I agreed to try it if I could do something a little different. I still didn’t see the point in writing straight romance or romantic suspense under a different name. That’s when Eve Dallas and Roarke walked on the page.

I'd rather lie bare-assed naked on the sidewalk and be trampled by tourists from South Dakota than be an accountant.
J. D. ROBB, Born in Death
Nothing ever seems too bad, too hard or too sad when you've got a Christmas tree in the living room. All those presents under it, all that anticipation. Just a way of saying there's always light and hope in the world.
J. D. ROBB, Memory in Death
Even strong women need an arm to lean on now and then.
