After about the age of 13, I was a romance addict. Still am, though I read just about every other genre as well. The only thing I really shy away from is political thrillers.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Romance novels are my favorite books to read. I write young adult romances, and am so happy to be promoting this wonderful genre.
Growing up, I mostly read comic books and sci-fi. Then I discovered the book 'Jane Eyre' by Jane Austen. It introduced me to the world of romance, which I have since never left. Also, the world of the first-person narrative.
Since my romance novels had all been thrillers as well, it wasn't such a leap for me to move into the straight thriller genre. The most difficult part, I think, was being accepted as a thriller writer. Once you've written romance, unfortunately, critics will never stop calling you a 'former romance author.'
I still read romance, and I read suspense. I read them both. And part of it is, I like stories with strong characters, and I like stories where there's closure at the end. And I like stories where there's hope. That's a kind of empowerment. I think romance novels are very empowering, and I think suspense novels are, too.
Recently, I haven't had too much time to read. But I love a good romance novel.
I read what I like to write: romantic suspense. I also love thrillers and novels of suspense, but I can't handle extreme violence and torture.
I love horror, fantasy and sci-fi. Those are my genres of love and devotion.
I love reading. I'm very much into history, novels, biographies and I have a wide range of thrillers.
I was obsessed with girls when I was 13 years old; I wasn't really into books.
I think the only thing that I really haven't done much in, and I haven't felt too attracted to, is romantic comedies.
