Elizabeth I was my favourite monarch though, what an inspiration, she did great things for women. – Kirsty Gallacher
I decided that if I want to write about a female hero in the 1920s, I’m going to have to give her all the advantages I can because she has serious disadvantages in being a woman. I wasn’t going to have her cowed or overawed by class, so she had to be titled. – Kerry Greenwood

Like everyone else, I grew up loving the Anne books, but L.M. Montgomery is so much more. Like Jane Austen, she has an eye for the absurd and a gift for the ‘mot juste.’ – Lauren Willig
If only Tammy knew how much I really cared about her. She has nothing to do with any of this mess. – Jessica Hahn
