Although I love Poe, I wrote my college paper on Hawthorne, author of The Scarlet Letter, The House of Seven Gables, and of course, the gorgeous Rappaccini's Daughter (not to mention dozens and dozens of other wonderful tales). I might be southern, but I am totally "Hawthorne" at heart. No other American writer has influenced me as much as Hawthorne. My novels and short stories are filled with literary allusions to his life and work.
