Romina asked Robin Schone:

The first time I read Gabriel's Woman, I was blown away by the imagery and the play on words. What caught my attention was that it seemed as if the author of 50 Shades of Grey was 'liberally inspired' by your ideas... except, of course, her writing can be considered rather clumsy, at best. Has anybody ever mentioned this to you or am I imagining a non-existent connection between two stories?

Robin Schone Hi Romina! I would be honored if E. J. James had been inspired by Gabriel's woman, but I think she was more inspired by Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series.

I studied art in school, but have always written. Words are like paint, I think, as they are the tools to convey emotion. Thank you for your very kind compliments about my writing. :-)
