felt group immersed peer taken teen
I just felt being part of my peer group so strongly. I was immersed in teen culture, but not taken in by it.
gave good opened push quick
What he gave us was a lot of rebounding and push at the basket. He has a very good quick step, which allows him to get to the basket, and that opened up a lot of things for the other guys, as well.

I find it to be easier to write from a man's point of view.
best
I always try to write the best I can.

My goal from being a child was to have a happy home life.

I could write and help a lot of kids, or teach and help a few and go nuts.

relationships
Naturally, everything boils down to relationships in my books.
