The best partnerships aren't dependent on a mere common goal but on a shared path of equality, desire, and no small amount of passion.

From Sarah MacLean

That first meeting - the one where the hero and heroine start the slow burn that takes the whole story to turn into true love - is the single most important part of the whole book. Nail it, and you've won yourself readers.

From Sarah MacLean

As winter approaches - bringing cold weather and family drama - we crave page-turners, books made for long nights and tryptophan-induced sloth.

From Sarah MacLean

Alas, summer sun can't last forever. The days will grow cooler and shorter, and our skin will once again pale.

From Sarah MacLean

When it comes to love, the English language bears no shortage of cliches.

From Sarah MacLean

Like so many others, I came to romance during the golden age of it - Judith McNaught, Julie Garwood, Johanna Lindsey and Jude Deveraux were at the height of their historical domination. Without those women, I wouldn't be a romance novelist.

From Sarah MacLean

For the most part, my characters don't talk to me. I like to lord over them like some kind of benevolent deity. And, for the most part, my characters go along with it. I write intense character sketches and long, play-like conversations between me and them, but they stay out of the book writing itself.

From Sarah MacLean

I want to wake up one morning and know how to write page one, or page 10, or page 250. But I never seem to know how to do it. Every book is different and takes a different structure, style, process, etc. And relearning how to write is where the insanity comes from.

From Sarah MacLean

As for the zone, I always find the zone immediately after I am sure I will never ever find the zone again because it has left me for some other, better writer.

From Sarah MacLean

If you think back to your time as a teenager, everything was dramatic.
