Quote

Like most writers, I read deeply into the genre in which I write.

I like the idea of trying to write a book in every genre.

Writing is writing, and stories are stories. Perhaps the only true genres are fiction and non-fiction. And even there, who can be sure?

I think my fascination is less with genre figures than with writers in general.

If I'm a genre writer, I'm at the edge. In the end, they do work like genre fiction. You have a hero, there's a love interest, there's always a chase, there's fighting of some kind. You don't have to do that in a novel. But you do in a genre novel.

I had always wanted to be a writer who confused genre boundaries and who was read in multiple contexts.

I'm not constrained by being a genre writer. Any story I can imagine, I can cast as a fantasy novel and probably get it published.

I want to say that I really appreciate that readers are willing to work with my tendency to write in several different genres and for different age groups.

I don't write to a genre.
