I’ve said since the moment I started writing for Harlequin that I write to touch women’s lives. To find them where they are and give them a heart-felt boost – whether it be by giving them a couple of hours of enjoyment, to replenish themselves, so they can step back up to their plates. Or, more often, to reach out to hurting hearts, to hold on gently, and walk with them back to the road to joy.

I write about tough subjects because women face them every day. Through my books I want to share the pain with them as only a close and trusted friend could, and, maybe, give them a new insight, a thought, maybe, that might help them face the challenge and come out on the other side. I want to be the one who understands. I know I found this kind of solace in books – in Harlequin books. I found the will to hang on. The strength to try one more day. One more time. And I found hope, a hope I clung to, that real love did exist. And that it was for everyone, including me.

In June of this month, in the UK, a scholarly paper is being presented at a symposium, discussing romance heroines challenging preconceptions of the genre. My current Superromance series, the series currently on tour, is being used as the basis for this paper. I had nothing to do with the paper. This was not my idea. I’m not a part of the presentation. But I feel as though I’ve just been awarded my Lifetime Achievement Award.

His First Choice is a romance. It’s a family drama story. It’s the eighth book in my Where Secrets Are Safe series. Some of the books are suspense. Some are straight romance. All of them deal with people who need to know that a place exists where their secrets are safe. I created that place. It’s called The Lemonade Stand. I hope you’ll join us there.
