Hello fellow bookworm!
I have a confession to make. When I first started writing, I never considered being a romance writer. I didn't think I had the necessary skill. One day I took a crack at it, and lo and behold, a major editor liked my voice and offered me a book deal.
It's the stuff dreams are made of.
Everything that's happened has caused me to take a fond look back at all of my favorite books, many of which had a definite impact on me as a creative person and writer.
