Everything I needed to know about love I (shouldn't have) learned from ALL MY CHILDREN

It's Valentine's Day here in Hallmarkistan, which means authors (especially those of us who write about The Love Thang) are being asked all sorts of broad questions about romance.

Book Spot Central invited me and several other science ficiton/fantasy authors to tell them which movies/TV shows/books had the most influence on me as a viewer/reader? At first I thought that meant, "Which were your favorite?" But I'm glad I didn't answer it that way*, because I would've given the same response as Paul Malmont (Groundhog Day) or Carrie Vaughn (The Princess Bride).

Instead, I answered the question literally and honestly. Read our responses (I'm fourth from the bottom, right above my favorite answer by my friend Dave Williams). And try to have a good Valentine's Day.

*even though in the final blog post it's written as "favorites" not "most influential." Maybe this is what Sarah Palin meant by "gotcha journalism". ;-)

I was a total good girl and waited for you to post the cover art and I must say....WOW!! I am loving this. And I will definitely be reading it as soon as I can. I finally hope to get my copy of Awakening next month. Sadly, bills seem to always come first. ;)
