Romance novels are my favorite books to read. I write young adult romances, and am so happy to be promoting this wonderful genre.
It's usually drawing on personal experience. I don't think I could dig deep enough trying to get into somebody else's life. Like 'Far From Me' - I wrote it about this waitress that I was dating when I was fifteen or so, and she broke up with me.
At 16, every boyfriend I had I was going to marry.
I had my first real kiss at Magic Mountain on a park bench. Not the most romantic thing ever.
We've all been that young love, trying to impress the in-laws or having these crazy cousins that we're related to by blood - we can't choose them as sort of friends, but they're there.
Oh, what is young love! The urge of the race. A blaze that ends in babies or ashes.
When you're a teenager and you're in love, it's obvious to everyone but you and the person you're in love with.
When I was 16 or 17, I remember kissing one of my first girlfriends, Kim Anderson, under a stairwell at Disneyland. I'll never forget that feeling.
