"I write true romances, often kind of gritty, urban. The stories always have sex in them... but it's never overplayed because, for me, the most important aspect of romance is making a connection with a person, with another person's mind or soul. My stories are always about boundaries too, gender, age, appearance, that kind of thing. Love doesn't recognise any boundary and I guess that is what I want to say. Another issue is identity: trying to work out who we really are through the medium of a love story and I think, overall, that works very well. Readers often seem to be quite surprised by the realism of these stories, and I guess that's another big positive".
