I think there are many more stories still to be told about women.

I love stories about women.

I'm still very interested in telling one-of-a-kind women's stories.

I am interested in personal stories because that's when people become expressive, spontaneous and heartfelt.

I want to tell stories for everyone, primarily.

Three of my novels and a good number of my short stories are told from the point of view of men. I was brought up in a house of women.

There's not a lot of stories for women told by women in a very real, true voice.

I'm always captivated by stories of women who find a way to be daring - misbehaving women.

I get quite disappointed that we're still telling stories that I think are problematic in terms of what they're saying about women.

Women's stories have been neglected for so long - unless they were queens. Exploring the history of women is a way of redressing that imbalance.
