I have been writing stories since I can remember, and ever since I first started trying to write novels, they were romance novels.
I didn’t exactly know it at the time. As a reader, I didn’t get introduced into category romance until I was in college. Before that I had read some inspirational romance, but the minute I sat down with my first actual romance novel, I realized that it was exactly what I’d been trying to write since I sat down with the idea of a novel.
My writing has come a long way from that first story, from that first romance read, but it always turns into a romance. I can’t seem to help it. I think love stories are absolutely the most entertaining, fulfilling, and interesting stories out there.
I don’t only read romance. In fact, some of my favorite non-romance novels have very not-happy endings. But they all deal with love in some way. I prefer to write about the happy side of romantic love. I just can’t seem to help it.
