1. What is your favorite literary romance, and what makes it your favorite?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Anything Jane Austen, especially Pride and Prejudice. I love the books and I love the movies.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Which novel did you most enjoy writing, and why?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

The Last Sin Eater<\/a> was the most fun because I had no idea what was coming next.\u00a0 It was as much a mystery to me as it was to readers.\u00a0 And there was the tragic love story of Bletsung Macleod and Sim Gillivray, the sin eater, who had to wait for their happy ending.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. What is your favorite Valentine\u2019s memory, or what is the most romantic thing anyone ever did for you?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Rick and I took my wedding rings in to a jeweler to have them repaired a few years ago.\u00a0 They wanted to show me a ring with a beautiful canary diamond.\u00a0 I said no way was I going to put that ring on, and I certainly didn\u2019t want to see the price tag.\u00a0 Without saying anything, Rick went back a week later to pick up my repaired rings.\u00a0 Our anniversary (December 21), but he said he couldn\u2019t wait to give me my gift and handed me a ring box. \u00a0\u00a0He\u2019d taken all the cash he\u2019d saved over a number of years to buy his dream car, a Thunderbird, and bought that canary diamond ring for me instead. \u00a0This didn\u2019t happen on Valentine\u2019s Day and therefore isn\u2019t a Valentine\u2019s memory \u2013 but it is the romantic, sacrificial thing I have experienced and it still makes me teary. \u00a0That was a few years ago, and now — \u00a0even after forty-six years of marriage — my husband, Rick, is still the most giving, romantic man I know.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n
