Quote

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

I like writing historical fiction.

I just love historical fiction.

My writing has to support more than my research habit, but I love to curl up with a book about some dusty corner of history.

I love to have real people of history interact with my fictional characters. History gives me the plot. I research the period meticulously, and then I blend in a romantic and sensual love story to give it balance. The heavier the history, the more romantic the couple must be.

I have always had a great interest in visually documenting the past.

I've always been drawn to historical fiction.

The pull of history has been a strong theme in my life as a novelist.

I love anything to do with history.

I like to create imaginary characters and events around a real historical situation. I want readers to feel: OK, this probably didn't happen, but it might have.
