I'm such a closeted nerd.

Secretly, I'm a real big nerd. I'd rather stay home and play Scrabble than go to a Hollywood party, any day of the week. And I love reading about history and watching the Discovery Channel.

I love being in the archives, traveling, sitting in dusty places and looking at books with brittle pages. I love reading biographies and researching, to make myself informed about whatever political or historical time I'm writing about. From there, a lot of the emotional truths about my characters emerge.

I like historical things; I like researching things.

I love history, cultural and religious studies, philosophy, photography and traveling.

I love to read history books, which is where I get my ideas. I also read historical romance for pleasure.

I'm a bit of a nerd, and my extracurricular activity is nerd games.

I love anything to do with history.

I'm a huge nerd, I admit to that. I love to play video games, I love to read, and of course, I've gotta still get my studies in and all. I love to learn. But I also love to do stop motion animation with my little Lego figures. I love to play around on the computer with that.

Museums, I love museums.
