We women aren't good at hints. We like solid declarations of love and forever.

You should really stay true to your own style. When I first started writing, everybody said to me, 'Your style just isn't right because you don't use the really flowery language that romances have.' My romances - compared to what's out there - are very strange, very odd, very different. And I think that's one of the reasons they're selling.

Love can make even nice people do awful things.

I think I'd want to have an affair with a Montgomery but marry a Taggert.

To be able to see the flaws in your own work is a gift.

I don't like to read books where I feel as though I've stepped into the middle of things and don't know what's going on. I like to see characters I've met before, but I don't want to feel left out because I haven't read other books in the series.
