I don't really get the same kinda romance that I would get from, like, jazz. And even to a lesser extent to rock 'n roll. Rock 'n roll has a romance to it - how can I put it? A very vulgar romance, but still a romance; whereas hip hop has more facade.

Since my romance novels had all been thrillers as well, it wasn't such a leap for me to move into the straight thriller genre.
