War stories, westerns, spy stories are all accepted as respectable because they are read by men. It is only women's light reading which is derided.

If you want to talk about a subject that is important to women, romantic fiction is the place to talk about it because that's where your audience is.

Writers and readers are still trying to work out unresolved problems between men and women, and that is why millions of women around the world are hooked on romantic fiction. So am I.

Every job you do, you gain more experience. You never stop learning.
