emily far stuff
When I'm working, I always read stuff that's as far away from what I'm working on as possible, so I'll read American crime fiction at bedtime, or Emily Dickinson.
authors people
I'm working with published authors and some very young undergraduates and lots of people in between. They are lovely people, and they can write.
ya
I didn't consciously make the decision to write an adult novel. I didn't think of it as my riposte to the YA genre.

I want to drink champagne from ladies' shoes.
