I'll always have a soft spot for Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I loved their sharp-witted conversations and the way they interacted so believably on the page. I first read the novel when I was 14 and there was something incredibly spirited about their relationship -- I could visualize it as easily as if it were happening right in front of me. It's still one of my favorite novels of all time!

The best thing about being a writer for me is getting to do something creative every single day! Truly, that’s been such a gift. Even when the plotting of a scene is giving me fits or the synopsis doesn’t seem to make sense at all…I love knowing that I have a place to play with these characters and storylines. My hope is that by writing about women’s dreams and experiences as honestly as possible, I might get closer to helping readers recognize truths about their own lives. It was this sense of “recognition” that my favorite novelists gave to me, and I’ll always be grateful for that.
