Zitat des Tages von Ann Maxwell:
I've always been one of those people who wondered 'What if...'
Traditionally in crime fiction, women exist as a bedroom convenience or to screw up in order that the plot may progress. I wanted no part of that.
Having a Weim means never having to work alone again. I have two Weims. When they think I've been working too long, they stage an intercession.
If Nora Roberts were a man, she'd be on the cover of big business magazines as the next Charles Dickens.
I'm a great believer in possibilities.
I think that I had read so much fiction that the craft itself sort of sank into me. I didn't read any 'how to' books or attend any popular-fiction-writing classes or have a critique group. For many years into my writing, I didn't even know another author. For me, a lot of reading was the best teacher.
As science-fiction was what I read in college, it was natural that I should be tempted to write it. So I did, and continued to do so, even while I was co-authoring mysteries with my husband Evan.
Not only is it OK for a woman to write about a tough guy, but it might even help sell him.
Love is itself an expression of strength.
The wonderful thing about romance is that there are so many flavors of it!
