I started writing in 2007, with a Harlequin/Mills and Boon story called Wife For A Week. I liked it, readers liked it, and it’s still my mother’s favorite. With each new book I try to get my mother to change her mind. Awards? I have them (for other books). USA Today Bestseller status? I have that too (for other books). Romance Writers of America® RITA® Finalist? Yep (with other books).
At this point I’m pretty sure my mother is happily messing with *my* mind, but I promise you this–with every book I write I try to make it her new favorite story. Quality control!
