My relationship with my readers is somewhat theatrical. One of the main things I try to do in my work is delight my readers.

Part of me becomes the characters I'm writing about. I think readers feel like they are there, the way I am, as a result.

I get very involved in my characters. Sometimes I have a very hard time separating my characters from my life.

I have a huge emotional attachment to characters I've created, especially the viewpoint characters.

When I'm writing from a character's viewpoint, in essence I become that character; I share their thoughts, I see the world through their eyes and try to feel everything they feel.

It's how I express myself - through storytelling and characters. They often reveal very intimate, vulnerable sides of myself.

It's nice to play a character that has a soulful, dependent, close relationship. It must mean my character is interesting in some way.

No matter what's happening in my life, I can always get lost in the romances of my characters.

As an author you hope your characters have sparks but truly in the end they have minds of their own!

I like all my characters in one way or another, or at least I understand them.
