Quote

I am in the interesting position of being sometimes skimmed by the critics and called literature and sometimes called historical fiction.

I primarily read fiction, and I read a good many wonderful books while writing 'The Visibles.'

I love to read history; at its best, it is an art.

I really enjoy researching, and for almost every piece, I research enough to write a book.

I have always loved reading, so was interested in the literary world, and took many literary portraits.

Like most authors, I also love to read.

I tend to like to read history - recent history, because I find that much more intriguing than just a writer's imagination.

Most scholarly books we read for the information or insight they contain. But some we return to simply for the pleasure of the author's company.

Books, I don't know what you see in them. I can understand a person reading them, but I can't for the life of me see why people have to write them.

I enjoy the research and love actually creating the words. There's not too much I find a drudge when it comes to writing.
