My parents did not encourage romances.

I came out of what we romance writers call The Romance Ghetto, because we get so little respect.

I was in law school at the University of Kentucky and realized I didn't really like law school, so I took a creative writing course for something different.

I write to please me, and I've been very lucky. It's like playing baseball. You just keep swinging, and eventually you get a hit.

I haven't always felt it was okay to read romance novels. When I was younger, it embarrassed me to be seen with my books, but I've come out of the closet.

I grew up with three little brothers. Every Christmas, we'd have piles of toy trucks and Lincoln Logs and G.I. Joes under the tree. Those were for them. For me? My No. 1 favorite present of all time: books. Two or three tall stacks of wonderful stories that I could lose myself in for weeks.

The year I turned 16, I spent the weeks before Christmas dropping hints to my parents about how much I wanted - no, needed - my own transportation.

I didn't know how to be a writer. But I thought, 'I can do this.'
