I love meeting readers and booksellers and am beyond overwhelmed and gratified at the reception. Each day feels like an adventure.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'd always liked to read, but when I picked up books I wasn't getting the same kind of excitement from them that I was from going out clubbing. I wanted to get the same kind of feel.
I'm a fan of meeting readers face to face, at reader events, where we're able to sit down and take some time to talk.
There are some writers I think who love to go around and visit bookstores and just interact.
To come out and meet kids who have my books in their hands is kind of amazing.
Going to so many book events keeps me connected with my readership while constantly reminding me that all the long hours at the drawing desk are worthwhile.
I'll read pretty much anywhere and anytime, but for a while now, I've really enjoyed reading on flights, especially the longer hauls, when I'm unplugged from everything and can completely immerse myself in the world of a book and submit happily to its rhythms, perspectives, ideas.
I love being in touch with my readers and fellow writers! It's just amazing to have such access to people.
As a lifelong romance reader, it's always satisfying to get to talk to other romance readers!
I love books. I read voraciously, and I happened to have been fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time.
I haven't found it to be particularly enjoyable... ninety percent of the time when I go on dates, I'm thinking, 'I could be reading my book instead.'
