Books are often far more than just books.

I am a bad feminist and a good woman. I am trying to become better in how I think and say and do - without abandoning what makes me human.

I write for myself, first and foremost and I also write for people, mostly women, who just want to be seen and heard and all too often aren't.

The notion that I should be fine with the status quo even if I am not wholly affected by the status quo is repulsive.

Somewhere along the line we started misinterpreting the First Amendment and this idea of the freedom of speech the amendment grants us. We are free to speak as we choose without fear of prosecution or persecution, but we are not free to speak as we choose without consequence.

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

I am interested in intense, unbreakable emotional connections and oftentimes, such connections can be found between siblings.
