People often ask me why I write romance and to tell you the truth I usually say its because its what I love to read. But to be honest with you its also what I know.

At the heart of romance its about family and community and the bonds that a couple form as they start to build their own family. And of course I love love….who doesn’t!

So here’s my story…
After a surprising and a little bitter divorce I never thought I’d find love again. Who does when your heart is breaking and your dreams are shattered. But then I met Rob. He lived in another country and we’d been friends for a long time. But as we started talking to each other for hours every day we realized that at the core of our beings we belonged together.

I didn’t know if we would ever be anything more than friends and after a few months of chatting I flew to London to meet him. And at the moment our eyes met I know he was the one for me. I’ve written about that moment so many times but to be honest had never experienced before then. Every moment we spent together that week just confirmed what I already knew in my heart…Rob and I were soul mates.

We slowly melded our lives together with Rob moving to the States and our kids meeting each other and now on Friday July 16 three years after I flew to meet him, we are getting married.

Its going to be a small intimate wedding sharing our love for each other with our closest friends and family. Much like the weddings I write about at the end of my books.

Now when people ask me why I write romance I will simply tell them that I write about what I know and want everyone to get their own happy endings!

Love and laughter to you all!
