If people cannot be flawed in fiction there's no place left for us to be human.

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

Maybe I'm a bad feminist, but I am deeply committed to the issues important to the feminist movement. I have strong opinions about misogyny, institutional sexism that consistently places women at a disadvantage, the inequity in pay, the cult of beauty and thinness, the repeated attacks on reproductive freedom, violence against women, and on and on. I am as committed to fighting fiercely for equality as I am committed to disrupting the notion that there is an essential feminism.

Nemeses aren't born. They are made.

The idea of life in France is a utopia where the women are beautiful and they eat cheese all day and wear designer clothes and are magically thin and more evolved. And that's wonderful. Over here, we're still fighting for birth control.

I write toward both idealism and reality - how things are and how I wish they could be.

I'll learn how to rest, though. I can still learn new tricks.
