Sydney Cameron read her first adult romance book when she was in the fifth grade. Her dad found her older sister’s book on the kitchen floor, handed it to her and said, “Here, read this. It’s Lindsey’s book and she’s smart so maybe you’ll learn something.” The book was a Harlequin Romance book titled, “In Need of a Wife” by Emma Darcy. Sydney doesn’t think her dad would have recommended the book to his 11-year-old daughter if he had bothered to read the title or look at the cover.
But Sydney read it and learned something; she really loved romance books.
Already a bookworm, she dreamed of writing her own romance novel one day, and even attempted to several times, but fear and doubt kept her from completing it.
