I was just teasing, I say. I myself don't like to eat plain butter, but hey, it's a free world.
Lauren Myracle
I'm a southern girl, and I grew up with this slightly schizophrenic upbringing where I bounced back and forth between Atlanta, Georgia, and a tiny mountain town called Brevard, North Carolina. My parents were divorced, and my two lives were very different because of socioeconomic reasons.

Lauren Myracle
And books are such an empowering way to give voice to some of these kids who aren't yet ready to tell their story. Or don't know what their story is, or are trying to figure it out.
Lauren Myracle
Also, as an author, character has always been what I'm most interested in - much more so than plot or setting, although those are good things too.
Lauren Myracle
Christmas is never over,unless you want it to be... Christmas is a state of mind.
Lauren Myracle
But you have to live in the present. You have to take the old and make it new -- that's my point.
Lauren Myracle
We are all flawed, my dear. Every one of us. And believe me, we've all made mistakes. You've just got to take a good hard look at yourself, change what needs to be changed, and move one, pet.
Lauren Myracle
It's unfair how the kids who are starving for attention tended to be so annoying that people had no inclination to give it to them.
Lauren Myracle
There's something strange about this big pink bunny.
Lauren Myracle
Suck it up. This is the life you chose for yourself, so buck up and deal.
Lauren Myracle
I didn't like being alone. Being alone was slightly better than having to deal with people, that's all. Or so I'd convinced myself.
