Sylvia Day
Readers want a good book; it's a writer's job to give it to them.
Sylvia Day
I urge aspiring writers to write three full-length novels before contemplating publication.
Sylvia Day
Writing the 'Crossfire' series is deeply personal for me, and I love the whole process of it.
Sylvia Day
Nalini Singh, J.D. Robb, Patricia Briggs, Shelby Reed - these are my pre-order, must-have authors.

Reading is No. 1 - I have to read, or I can't write.
