If you could have only one book to read for the rest of your life....what book would it be and why?
Katlyn Charlesworth
Ooo... That's a really difficult question to answer! One book for the rest of my life? It sounds quite a bit like torture.
I am a huge fan (and I mean HUGE) of F. Scott Fitzgerald, especially of "The Great Gatsby". However, I do have a great love for any of Jane Austen's works—my favorite being "Pride & Prejudice", of course. And yet, the book I'd select would not be either of these. Instead that single book is Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights". I think that classic embodies a bit of both Fitzgerald and Austen's works. I guess that's my way of getting away with having 'more than one' book for the rest of my life.

A lot of writer's, especially in the Historical fiction genre, stay pretty much in one time period but your tales are scattered from Rome to World War II. It seems like this approach would require so much more research. What's your driving force behind such historical versatility?
