I have been reading romance novels since I had my heart broken the first time. It is what has gotten me through the worst of times and has led me to regain the confidence that real love affairs do happen and they do last. I think if someone was to ask me why I wanted to write, I think I would to be able to give another woman back the kind of sense of self these books gave to me. You can have any kind of love you want; gentle with a loving family, a quick kind of lust, a passionate suspenseful thrill of your life. You can have any or all of them. They are out there. If I was to write, it would be to remind woman of this on their darkest night.
