First and foremost, I consider myself a storyteller. And I'm endlessly fascinated with people, with what they do and why... and how they feel about it. Which means I'm interested in romance fiction. I was drawn to it, as both a reader and a writer, at the very beginning of my career. It's my kind of storytelling.

My greatest strength as a writer is that I'm a storyteller. But, it was a long, hard struggle for me to make the transition from verbally telling stories to writing them. You'll note I don't dwell on descriptions in my writing, because I'm far more interested in telling the story. There are many better writers in this world, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone more passionate about stories than I am.

Here's where the real power of generosity comes in. Often, the more we give, the more we receive.

The best way to get even is to forget.

I'm dyslexic, although they didn't have a word for it when I was in grade school. The teachers said I had 'word blindness.

We're each our own person, we live our own lives, make our own mistakes, learn from them and move forward.
