Three Things I Don't Write and
Three Things I Do Write.
What
are three things I don’t write?
If you had asked me this question a
few years ago, I would have said I don’t write sci-fi, yet that’s what I did in
my Em and Yves series. So that’s one
gone by the wayside. I can’t see myself ever writing horror or fantasy as I
never read those genres. And I know there is no poetry in me so that’s out too.
I won’t write romance either—no heaving bosoms and throbbing members in my
books.
Three
things I do write.
Love stories and that’s very
different than romance. Love stories are about people and relationships that
are the essence of our being. I can’t imagine a life for anyone without a love
story in it—and I’m not talking just romantic love.
I write to entertain. For example my
blog bits include snippets meant to make the reader chuckle or even laugh out
loud.
I write to inform. I believe people
read novels to learn so I try to include information from my experiences—living
in Mali, for example—to show readers a bit about other people and other lives.
I also blog about writing.
My current work in progress, which
may be a combination of YA and Boomer Lit, is leading me on a merry chase as
the ideas flow. Yes, I’m having fun with it and that’s the most important thing
about writing for me. It’s fun.

I said in my own blog that I don't read or write sci-fi. Your books are an exception. They're "soft sci-fi" but based on a lot of reality and with great relationship stories in them. I enjoyed reading all of your books and hope you never stop writing.
