I would rather be a bad feminist than no feminist at all.

I don't want the success to go away. I don't want it to seem unearned.

Fiction offers escape but it also interrogates the world we live in, whether the past, present or future.

Violence is not the answer but neither is peace.

My fiction is a very accurate reflection of the world we live in. Certainly, in some stories, that reflection is amplified but America elected a man who enjoys grabbing women by their pussies.

I am human. I am messy. I'm not trying to be an example. I am not trying to be perfect. I am not trying to say I have all the answers. I am not trying to say I'm right. I am just trying - trying to support what I believe in, trying to do some good in this world, trying to make some noise with my writing while also being myself.
