![]() ![]() I’d been writing ever since I was a little kid, but as soon as I read those historical romance novels, I started writing my own book. Historical romances were my favorite, and I think Something Wonderful by Judith McNaught was the one book that just hooked right into my imagination. And I’d go to my friend’s house and we’d both just lie on the floor of her bedroom, reading, pausing long enough to eat Pillsbury Orange Cinnamon Rolls for lunch. I have a vivid memory of reading during Physical Science class, thinking I was clever because I had the book on my lap, under the desk, as if the teacher couldn’t see that I was absolutely not paying attention to him. ![]() I started reading romance novels all night (giving myself major eye strain headaches), and snuck them into school. I was already a reader, but with romance novels, I became immediately smitten with the genre. ![]() This was the mid Eighties, so the authors I read included Judith McNaught, Jude Devereaux, Johanna Lindsey, Iris Johansen, LaVyrle Spencer, and Constance O’Banyon. In high school, a friend of mine started lending me her mother’s romance novels. ![]()
