Close your eyes,
Fall in love.
Stay there.
~ Rumi
Rumi knew everything about love. To me, this quote is the perfect description of how I write and how I fall in love. It's a mystery, a thrill, an adventure - every time.
You never know who you'll fall in love with, or why, or whether it's a good idea - ask Rowan in A Star, A Stone. How could you ever anticipate the wonder, the inspiration being in love can bring - An Unbearable Brightness explores that light. A sudden rainstorm - Stormy Weather - or even an exercise class - The Queen of Heaven - can be the spark that creates abandon and passion between two lovers. In Dolce, a full-course Italian meal prepared with love whets . . . other appetites. And in Beginning Again, Andrew and Beckett discover that you CAN go home again.
My stories are explorations of what love and passion can become, how they can affect two people for a moment, or for a lifetime. When they close their eyes, literally or not; when they tumble into a love they never expected; when they decide it's worth the risk to stay . . . or not.
