1. What is your favorite literary romance, and what makes it your favorite?
Though I generally read contemporary novels, I will confess that my favorite romance is Pride and Prejudice. I think Elizabeth Bennet is a heroine for the ages, and Darcy a perfect hero. And it has a happy ending that I most enjoy.

2. Which romance did you most enjoy writing, and why?
My favorite was my Cold Case Justice series. I loved writing Luke and Abby and think they are a great pair of characters with a sweet romance.

3. What is your favorite Valentine’s memory, or what is the most romantic thing anyone ever did for you?
My favorite memory is of the last Valentine’s day I had my parents with me. My father had dementia but he still enjoyed the chocolate my mother bought that day. I also have the last picture of them together, taken that day. My father passed less then two months later in April, and my mom in August of the same year. I love the photo I have of them, their last Valentines day together here on earth.
