In times of grief and sorrow I will hold you and rock you and take your grief and make it my own.

I would be rejected if I submitted any of my novels as romance novels.

I don't write romance novels.

If you look for me, I'm in the fiction section. Romance has its own section.

I didn't need to write historical epics, no, or science fiction, though I read a lot of science fiction as a kid and rather liked it. But I didn't have the mentality.

When we're in production, it's 14 hours a day, and we couldn't be less involved in the world. My friends all hate me during that time because I can't see anyone. We say goodbye to everything.

The only time I ever spend alone is when I am working or when my husband is away filming. I put the kids to bed and have an hour and a half in the evening for myself.

Now Stan and I were still working in secret at that time but, because of this development, we had to inform the University of Utah because we thought that they might need to take patent protection.
