I love books where you feel you're having a romance with the writer.

I certainly want to continue to write in a way that's intimate.

I didn't know anything about romance novels until a friend suggested that I try writing one. After I read a few, I realized that my favorite part of fiction had always been the relationship aspect.

Writing novels is where I'm most comfortable. It's a very intimate experience.

The reason I write romance is that I like happy endings. The idea, you know, 'It's not literature unless is ends badly,' and I really don't like that. There's enough misery and bad things happening in the world.

I think of my books now as suspense novels, usually with a love story incorporated. They're absolutely a lot harder to write than romances. They take more plotting and real character development.

Every book should have a romance.

I write the kinds of novels I like to read, where the setting is rendered with love and care.

Romance novels are my favorite books to read. I write young adult romances, and am so happy to be promoting this wonderful genre.

Books in general are great, but I'm a fiction lover, and I will continue to do it.
