Truly I never thought of myself as writing legal thrillers, and I still don't think I do. I write stories about women.
Lisa Scottoline
Bad things are like waves. They're going to happen to you, and there's nothing you can do about it. They're part of life, like waves are a part of the ocean. If you're standing on the shoreline, you don't know when the waves are coming. But they'll come. You gotta make sure you get back to the surface, after every wave. That's all.

The thing about love is that we can't control whether we get it, but we can control whether we give it. And each feels as good as the other. Your heart doesn't know if it's loving a man, a book, or a puppy. If your heart were that smart, it would be your brain.

My animals are a really important part of my life.
Lisa Scottoline
Likewise, I would never be so rude as to not interrupt a friend. How else would she know I was listening?

don't argue what you don't believe in. Rule number one, in law and in life.

Do you know what they call people who hoard books? Smart.

People project all sorts of emotions onto their cats, and cats like it that way.
Lisa Scottoline
And wouldn't we be better off if every New Year's, we thought about the things we did right and we resolved to keep doing them, no matter how wacky they were.

I love everything about Philadelphia, and its food is like the city itself: real-deal, hearty, and without pretension. We've always had an underdog vibe as a city, but that just makes us try harder, and I love our scrappiness and scruffiness.
Lisa Scottoline
Because the thing about love is that we can't control whether we get it, but we can control whether we give it.
Lisa Scottoline
I love my job, and I love books. I read anything, including cereal boxes. I care deeply about what people think of my books, and I memorize my reviews. I love to hear from my readers.
