But the book that made me want to be a writer was Jewels of the Sun by Nora Roberts. The characters, the writting just gave me that warm feeling that I wanted to write. Now, Faking It by Jenny Crusie made me realize that romance doesn't always have to be flowerly. That book changed my writing. It made me fall in love with books all over again, because I found a new genre that felt like it was written just for me.

Little House and then Nancy Drew. I couldn't get enough of those books as a kid. Another girl from my gradeschool, Kim, read everything too and we'd sit and discuss books, kind of like an early version of a book club. Ah, yes! Little House and then Nancy Drew.

As a small girl, it was every single Black Stallion book. Then Little House on the Prairie, then The Babysitters Club. As an adult, I got hooked on The Cat Who, cozy mystery series. That was my Grandma's fault. Let's see, the only romance series I got swept up in was Christine Feehan's Dark series, and I'm afraid of vampires. But the ultimate sucked me in and didn't let me go until it was an obsession series was of course, Harry Potter. I guess I’ve always been a series freak.
