Quote

Books stay with me and have shaped me and made huge impacts on my life.

My books fall in the wobbly middle between historical fiction and historical romance.

My books are, in a way, a record of my life - that part of it that came to flower and fruit in my mind.

I often reread books I have written.

I try not to recommend too many books, frankly, because I think there's a certain synchronicity that happens when people discover books.

But I've been at writing long enough now to know that every three or four books I have to start a new direction.

With each book I write, I become more and more convinced that the books have a life of their own, quite apart from me.

My books are based on observing others, not myself.

Having reached the halfway mark in the alphabet, my prime focus is on writing each new book as well as I can.

I really strive to bring something new to each book. I don't want to write the same book over and over again.
