“For some reason, when people meet me and find out I'm a writer they always ask if I write children's books. Um... please don't let your kids read my books. Well, unless your kids are in their 30s or something...then yeah, they're old enough. LOL”

“People who make snide comments to authors like "anyone can write a book" or "well, you did it, so obviously I can/it can't be that hard" or poke at a book because it's "romance" or "genre fiction" and act like that somehow makes it substandard because they don't read it... well, ok, go ahead. Write a bestseller. Don't forget to go through the correct edit process. We'll wait.”

“When people get into their 30s plus "boyfriend" sounds weird...if you really think about it. Instead, I think we should universally start using the term "manfriend" or "snookie bookie cuddles pie".”

“I think people need hope when times are tough. I think they also need escape and adventure and fantasy. Books are like cheap mini vacations.”

“Advice from a Romance Writer: Guys, make your woman feel pretty even on an 'off' day. Trust me, good things will come of it.”

“Confession: I don't want to be one of my characters. I'm mean to them sometimes. Really mean.”

“People should know better than to be an ass in front of writers. We immortalize things. Lots of things. And we take liberties with character descriptions.”
