My wife, my family, my friends - they've all taught me things about love and what that emotion really means. In a nutshell, loving someone is about giving, not receiving.
I do not use profanity in my novels. My characters all go to church.
Rekindled love is generally short-term.
Romance is thinking about your significant other, when you are supposed to be thinking about something else.
I suppose more than anything, it's the way of life in this part of the country that influences my writing. In Eastern North Carolina, with the exception of Wilmington, most people live in small towns.
I would be rejected if I submitted any of my novels as romance novels.
The first thing I did when I sold my book was buy a new wedding ring for my wife and asked her to marry me all over again.
