Here is an interesting thought. How many would actually want to read their own novel? You have written it out, pouring your very heart and soul into it; with you every fiber you have brought it to light, but would you read it? When you go out and buy a book to read, what kind of book is it? Do you read the same type of books as the one you wrote?

When I write fiction I definitely try to write the kind of story I’d want to read.
I love to read a wide variety of genres, sci-fi, romance, erotica, chic-lit, historical and literary fiction… and the list goes on and on. What I really want from fiction are characters that I can relate to, or at least believe, and a story that takes me on a journey and puts me in their shoes.

I totally agree with that.
