I fell in love with your writing style the first time I picked up one of your books. I was wondering though, what made you change the POV? From first person in Catch of the Day, to third person in Until There Was You, and now wholly different, in If You Only Knew and I reckon, On Second Thought.

I never really thought about it! My first six books are in first person...it was just really fun to write that way. Then I came to a hero who really needed his own point-of-view, and that was also fun. I decide per book; my women's fiction books so far have been first person, but with two narrators, but the next book (Now That You Mention It), has just one. Each book "decides"...it's whatever feels right for that particular story.

Dear Kristan, I really loved the Blue Heron novels as well as the individual books and am happy to recommend them to our library patrons. One of the standouts is the relationships between the female characters with the heroine, supportive rather than competitive. Was exploring the relationships of sisters in your most recent novels, (with their emotional baggage and shared memories), easier or more difficult to write?
