Quote

I just love historical fiction.

I've always been drawn to historical fiction.

I like writing historical fiction.

One thing I like about historical fiction is that I'm not constantly focusing on me, or people like me; you're obliged to concentrate on lives that are completely other than your own.

As a child, I read science fiction, but from the very beginnings of my reading for pleasure, I read a lot of non-fictional history, particularly historical biography.

As much as I love historical fiction, my problem with historical fiction is that you always know what's going to happen.

I'm not a great fiction reader. I love history. I love history and philosophy.

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

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