It's a luxury to be able to tell a long form story. I love novels, and I love to have a long relationship with characters.

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

I didn't know anything about romance novels until a friend suggested that I try writing one. After I read a few, I realized that my favorite part of fiction had always been the relationship aspect.

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

I was in love with the idea of love, so I created elaborate fictions for my relationships - fictions that allowed me to believe that what any given paramour and I shared looked a lot like love.

I love the novel because it's like a love affair. You can just fall into it and keep going, and you never know where it's going to take you.

I'm interested in female friendships and family relationships. So I don't write the traditional romance, where you just have the hero and the heroine's love story. I like intertwining relationships.

I certainly want to continue to write in a way that's intimate. I love books where you feel you're having a romance with the writer.

My novels are often about people who are in love or attracted to each other.

I knew I could write infinitely about relationships. That's the most beautiful, most confusing, most rewarding, most heartbreaking thing in our lives - and not just romantic relationships: that's all relationships.
