What inspired you to write this book?

I had been wanting to try my hand at a romantic comedy, my daughter was getting married at the time, and it gave me a couple of ideas to explore regarding the lead up to a wedding. None of the events in the book happened to my daughter, I hasten to add!

Breaking All The Rules was the result.

My husband, two children, my best friend, and my sister. My best friend and my sister are always the first people to read my books before they are published.
