In a category dominated by women, why write love stories? 

For me, it's simple: I'm looking to "buck" the trend. Sorry, I couldn't resist. But the truth is a great love story is more than just romance; there's mystery, suspense, and, sometimes, even horror. 

Moreover, only love has the power to raise us to new heights and plunge us to unimaginable depths—to make us feel on top of the world one minute, and buried beneath it the next. And it is the only thing I know that can both break a heart and mend it.
