I consider my greatest strength my complete and utter faith in a loving God. Strong family values are also important and I do not hesitate to write them into my books. My reader mail tells me this is something that readers especially like about my books.
My greatest strength as a writer is that I'm a storyteller. But, it was a long, hard struggle for me to make the transition from verbally telling stories to writing them. You'll note I don't dwell on descriptions in my writing, because I'm far more interested in telling the story. There are many better writers in this world, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone more passionate about stories than I am.
I'd found love -- only to discover how fleeting it can be.
But although she was with family and friends, she'd never felt more alone. She felt as if she'd lost a vital part of herself and she had - her heart.
I love the way knitting brings people together.
Maybe money can't buy love - but it can get you practically everything else.
I'm dyslexic, although they didn't have a word for it when I was in grade school. The teachers said I had 'word blindness.
Readers have actually changed the way I've done things, changed the course of my career even, about four or five times. Just from reader feedback.
Romance focuses on emotions and on relationships, both of which are fundamentally important to women.
God gave the Angels wings and humans chocolate. Mrs. Miracle
Some marriages are made in heaven, but they all have to be maintained on earth. Mrs Miracle
I've always been a creative speller and never achieved good grades in school. I graduated from high school but didn't have the opportunity to attend college, so I did what young women my age did at the time - I married.
Grandpa Patterson used to say: Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from any direction.
We all face difficulties of our own, and how comforting it is to immerse yourself in a book - my book, any book, any romance. It's entertainment, it's escape, and it can even be an inspiration!
