Kim, it was so wonderful to meet you, and a pleasure to read your publication story. I identify with everything you said! The first romance I read was actually more women's fiction, I think, The Proud Breed by Celeste de Blasis, when I was 12. Shanna, by Kathleen Woodiwiss, was second. Both of those books had a profound influence on me, and in fact both of them are still right here on my desk, along with Woodiwiss's The Wolf & the Dove and A Rose in Winter, as I refer to them frequently and reread them as often as possible. I can't wait to dive in to Lake Magic! All the best!
