“A romance is never just a romance, there's adventure, mystery and movement.
You need a grand, dramatic setting - the Swiss Alps were always an personal favourite of mine - and a chance meeting, on a train, a cruise, or perhaps the hero and heroine find themselves shipwrecked on a desert island.
The men are normally rich, well-to-do - but never vulgar with their money. Young men lack the maturity to take control so an older man is essential to provide the reassurance the heroine's needs.
There's always a fair amount of turbulence before he sweeps in to save the day. A happy ending is an absolute must.”

“I think I was born to write. My mother would put a typewriter on the dining room table and say "there you go".
My first story was published in the Christian Herald and they would pay me five guineas. I wrote my first novel when I was just 14.
I was into mysteries and thrillers at the time but I eventually I drifted into romance because my mother would always ask me to write 'something pretty'.
I've never got bored of it because its something I absolutely love. My books are full of hope and romance rather than sex.
They are a form of escapism - you can escape the parts of the world that you don't like.”
