When I pick up a romance novel, I’m certain of one
thing. Boy…I mean man meets woman; man wants woman; woman discovers the man is
her knight in shining armor; they fall in love and live happily ever after. A
happy ending. A celebration of their love. The formula has been used for years
upon years. And when I’m in the mood for a light read, I greatly enjoy a good
romance.

Although to be honest, I can’t write a simple
romance. I’ve tried. Every time I try, the book takes a turn, a wide turn back
to what I’m comfortable with—romantic suspense. I can’t help throwing my
heroine into danger. Yes, I’m one of those romance suspense authors. I also
follow a formula. Conflict. Conflict. Conflict.

Bombing victims. So I wrote.
