Quote

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

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

I've always loved writing emotionally rich, character-driven novels that explore the way people fall in love and deal with life's triumphs and tragedies. I enjoy writing the contemporary and historical books equally, though perhaps 'enjoy' is the wrong word.

I always love novels that open up a subject to me - like raising a window to a beautiful, mysterious world outside.

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

Here I am, where I ought to be. A writer must have a place where he or she feels this, a place to love and be irritated with.

I try to write about things, places, events, and phenomena I know about personally. That helps make the novels more genuine.

Writing is something that I've always loved. That stems from my love of being a reader.

I love writing, and I love the solitude of the writing, in that you're just sitting there creating something from nothing, or a new story for characters you love and care about.
