I was as unburdened as a piece of dandelion fluff, and he was the wind that stirred me about the world.
Royal Young’s writing is that rare blend of irony and beauty.
Superb historical romance, with a spiritual theme woven seamlessly throughout. I much enjoyed The Covered Deep and look forward to more from its author!
Digital held no romance for me at all. I hated it. I miss my big cameras. The working process, I miss it.
Romance novels satisfy a very specific fantasy of romantic love that seems to be a powerful part of the female psyche.
I believe all stories are love stories, and there are kinds and kinds of love, so I will always write about love, but not necessarily romance.

Everyone’s a little crazy. Some people just hide it better than others.

There’s one great script that hit my desk that I didn’t change at all, and that was True Romance.
If you live in your senses, slowly, with attention, if you use your eyes and your fingertips and your taste buds, then romance is something you’ll never need a greeting card to make you remember.

Love wasn’t a happening one decided on – to indulge or not, to partake or not. To feel or not. When it came, when it struck, the only decision left to make was how to respond – whether you embraced it, took it in, and made it a part of you, or whether you turned your back and let it die.
Never Mind Nirvana is the first novel I’ve read that makes music as important as food, clothing romance – a fresh twist millions will be able to identify with – and the music of Lindquist’s language is a perfect match for the subject. I think he’s the writer to watch in the new millennium.
When you are in love- everything is romantic.
