L. B. JOYCE (Cont.) INTERVIEW MFRW: LBJ: MFRW: LBJ: MFRW: LBJ: 5 Do you feel humor is important in fiction and why? Yes. After all, one can’t be serious all of the time. Especially when it comes to fal- ling in love. How many books have you written; how many have been published? I recently finished and published my sixth book of the series, Twelve Months, Twelve Love Stories. Among your own books, do you have a favor- ite book? Favorite hero or heroine? Number three of the series, February’s Angel. I find Sophie and Chester very easy to write about. They’re people I’d like to know. MFRW: LBJ: MFRW: LBJ: If I were a first- time reader of your books, which one would you recommend I start with and why? For the Love of July. This is when the series moves from Chi- cago to Cleveland, where all the future stories take place. What do you hope readers take with them after reading your work? I want them to know true love does exist, and everyone can have their own special fairy tale.
