People like casting me as these characters who definitely have an edge to them, but I don't really think 'bad boy' is something anyone can say about themselves without sounding stupid.

There's this whole assumption that girls like bad boys, but I have to disagree; I think 'nice' will go a long way.

Because I'm a good girl, I tend to fall for the bad boy persona, and it ends up biting me in the butt. They end up not knowing how to treat me, and I end up completely devastated.

I don't deal with the whole 'bad boy who doesn't call you.' That doesn't interest me at all, and I just look the other way.

Good boys are nice - don't go for the bad ones!

I grew up in a community where it was not the exception to be a good girl. It was sort of expected. And all of my friends were good girls too, and my boyfriends were good boys. Everybody was pretty nice. And that affects how I write my characters. There aren't very many bad guys in my novels.

I definitely have a little attraction to bad guys, but they have to be sweethearts underneath. After all, I like to be treated well.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very good, I'm a loyal person and I would never treat anyone badly - what goes around comes around. But I do go for the bad boy. I haven't outgrown that.

I never see my bad guys as simply bad. They want pretty much the same thing that you and I want: they want to be happy.

If you're nice to me I'll never write anything bad about you.
