Coming back to America to pursue music is a dream.

It's nice to know to I have friends that truly support and believe in me, and to go back home and see those that knew me before all this happened.

I'd like to pursue music back home because I still tend to express myself better through my mother language - English - and it's something I've been dreaming about and would like to achieve.

I'm just thankful that we were able to reach out to so many different fans that didn't know what our music was.

I love having the support of my caucus. We have a good working relationship.

I got to show off in front of my husband, who married me as I was stepping out of the business, so he had no idea that I could strut my stuff on the stage.

I've always jealously guarded my feminine mystique. I've been married twice, and neither of my husbands has ever seen me put my face on.

The general public doesn't expect romance authors to be Harvard graduates. Which is funny, because there are actually quite a lot of us. But this disconnect means that journalists see me as an interesting story. The tricky part is making sure they understand that there are many, many talented writers who don't have 'fancy' educations.
