The Mills & Boon author on the book she continually wishes she had written herself...
Mills & Boon author Penny Jordan cites author Dorothy Dunnett as her favourite author, and wishes she had written The Game of Kings, the first in a six-volume series of historical romance fiction.
“Dorothy Dunnett is my absolute hero – the person I would most like to have been, from a writing point of view. This is the first of her books about the hero, Lymond, and I think she writes the most fabulous, page-turning historical books. The plots are intricate and her use of language is superb: she’s a great storyteller. I still pick them up now and think I wish I’d written that!”
