Why do you choose to write romantic historical novels?
Even as a teen, I was captivated by classic stories like Ivanhoe, Romeo and Juliet, The Count of Monte Cristo, War and Peace, Pride and Prejudice, and many more. I enjoy escaping into a world of adventure, intrigue, romance, and drama. I feel at home and comfortable writing romantic adventure stories set in historical settings. I taught history, and I find the cultures, traditions, and beliefs of the past fascinating. I also enjoy a good love story.
