I don't really get romance. Bring me fish or moose, not flowers.

I don't see the point of pretending we're clones.

I usually tame my off-kilter sense of humor for novels.

I've had people who see all my characters as Native, even if they aren't. It's kind of like assuming all a writer's characters are really female because the writer is a woman. I've learned to let that go.

I was born on the same day as Edgar Allan Poe and Dolly Parton: January 19. I am absolutely certain that this affects my writing in some way.

I find myself moved by social justice issues. I'm not sure where that will lead me. I'm willing to nurture it.

Our ability to factory farm animals is coldly psychopathic.
