I wanted to go to a good college, and my mind was set on Wellesley.

I'd gone to Wellesley College, an amazing women's college where the students were encouraged to follow our dreams. However, after I graduated and had a historical romance published, more than a few people indicated that, in some way, my career choice was a 'waste' of so much education.

I had a liberal arts education at Amherst College where I had two majors, mathematics and philosophy.

I went to Amherst because my brother had gone there before me, and he went there because his guidance counselor thought that we would do better there than at a large university like Harvard.

I did a B.A. with a major in fine arts and a minor in psychology. I wanted to become a teacher or do art therapy for the elderly. But then I realised I wanted to travel instead.

I wanted to go to a liberal arts college, I wanted to have that experience.

I went to Cambridge University and was the first in my family to graduate.
