Some of her favorite books are Shogun by James Clavell, Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry, and Cold Sassytree by Olive Ann Burns. She discovered Anya Seton and Pearl Buck in her teens, and spent her freshman year in high school reading every book about Cornwall, England that she could find.

Every object she describes, from jewelry, dishes, furniture and glassware, are actually in museums all over the world. The food and recipes in her books are authentic recipes gleaned from intensive research. She has visited Ireland, Scotland, and England to stand in the places where her characters lived.
