I had heard that the supernatural/psychic element wouldn't be appearing in your Amanda Quick historicals anymore. Is that true? I loved that side of the Arcane Society and seeing them work within the Victorian world. There were what turned me into a regular historical romance reader.

Julia, thanks for your interest in my books with plots that incorporate a strong psychic twist. I have often messed around with that element in my stories and I continue to do so with the futuristic paranormal romances that I write under my Jayne Castle name. In those books you will also meet several of the descendants of the Arcane Society. For example, Sedona Snow's niece, Arizona Snow, is the heroine of THE HOT ZONE (Jayne Castle). Currently my historicals (Amanda Quick) and my contemporaries (JAK) are straight romantic-suspense. I love that genre, with or without the psychic stuff. As far as I am concerned it is a genre of its own, one in which the suspense and the romance must move together. A turning point in one causes a turning point in the other. Hero and heroine must work together to survive.

Just saw the short film, Love Between The Covers. A marvelous film and wanted to thank you for expressing what is most true. A good romance novel provides us with a sense of what is in our soul, no matter the condition of life at the time. Your early Quick novels were some of my first immersion into books which provided an escape from things that were not so hot. For me, what could be any better?
