I think printed fiction is what women read.

I think love is always going to be the most important subject for women.

I am interested in writing how women really feel, how they really think, and how they respond to men. I don't want men reading my books because they might find out too much.

If you want to talk about a subject that is important to women, romantic fiction is the place to talk about it because that's where your audience is.

War stories, westerns, spy stories are all accepted as respectable because they are read by men. It is only women's light reading which is derided.

Writers and readers are still trying to work out unresolved problems between men and women, and that is why millions of women around the world are hooked on romantic fiction. So am I.
