A historical romance is the only kind of book where chastity really counts.

People don't roll around naked in my books. I do allow them to go to bed if they're married, but it's all very wonderful and the moon beams.

My heroines are always virgins. They never go to bed without a ring on their fingers; not until page 118 at least.

When you get past fifty, you have to decide whether to keep your face or your figure. I kept my face.

I consider myself an expert on love, sex and health. Without health you can have very little of the other two.

As long as the plots keep arriving from outer space, I'll go on with my virgins.

Every woman dreams of love. When she is young she prays she will find it. When she is middle aged she hopes for it and when she is old she remembers it.
