kimberly grider asked Robin Lee Hatcher:

Please don't tell me its true that you made the statement that you no longer recommend your historical romance books before 1996 due to you making the choice to only write "christian" romance books ...and if you did why ? Your wonderful (and well loved by many) early books were some of the ones that turned me onto reading !

Robin Lee Hatcher Kimberly, first I must say that I consider it a real privilege and honor that my books were among those that turned you on to reading.

It is true that I don't encourage people to read my earlier fiction, but for more reasons than because I am now focused on writing Christian fiction (although that is a very important reason for me). One additional reason is that many of those early books were not edited at all or were poorly edited. I'm delighted that you still found joy in them. I think there are many reasons those stories continue to appeal, and when I have the time, I would love to rewrite more of them. Thus far, I’ve revised 14 of my early works with the help of some wonderful editors, and all have been released again, most of them with new titles and all of them with new covers.
