To show the American woman herself off to best advantage - that has always been my aim and that is my real biography.

My clothes are built to show off the woman who wears them. I like them to be simple... to move well, to move with the times and a little ahead of the times.

Staying focused is hard work and staying married is even harder.

I'm so thrilled to have won the RITA. The award is particularly special because it is given by other romance authors. It's deeply rewarding and not a little humbling to be honored by such a talented tribe of writers.

True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt; its essence is love. It issues not in laughter, but in still smiles, which lie far deeper.

In love, somehow, a man's heart is always either exceeding the speed limit, or getting parked in the wrong place.
