What is your favorite thing about writing? …. But there are times, rare and too far removed from one another, when for no logical reason the writing comes out so good that after finishing, I feel physically strong.

“I love using music to write. It gets me in a certain mood and I'm able to create images in my head like movies.”

I'll tell you why romance: I tried to write a literary novel, and it just went nowhere. I worked on that thing for years, and I could not breathe life into it. Finally, I got to the point where I couldn't write at all. Total block. This went on for years. So I thought, I'm going to write something that's pure fun, pure enjoyment, just as an exercise to see if it'll help me write again.

“I find it incredibly satisfying to write strong women who don't find other strong women intimidating. Nor do they compete with each other. Instead, they lift each other up.”

I started writing my first book in 2002. I had written lyrics and little stories before, but didn't get serious about it until 2002. That's when I started Something About Eve.

Publishers are usually willing to produce an audiobook only if a print or ebook sells beyond a certain number of units. And in my experience, publishers [would] rather the author do all that work for them. I wasn’t willing to leave an audiobook to the chance my book would stumble on its own audience. I also prefer to have control over the final product.
