What self-respecting male wanted a job being photographed?

Love can make even nice people do awful things.

It was flattering to have someone listen so intently to something that was so personal.

My university degree is in art and, yes, I do a lot of drawing for all my books. I have a big drafting table set up in a spare bedroom and I cover it with maps and house plans and sketches that I use in the books. Also, I truly love architecture, so that plays a big part in all my books.

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.

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