Quote

I got into an argument with my original publisher. They wanted me to do 'Kitty' and nothing else. I wanted to do lots of things, not just 'Kitty' books.

I don't really consider any of my novels 'crime' novels.

I didn't want to write a book. They made me do it.

Fantasy novels, I don't really gravitate to that part of the bookstore.

Fiction novels, that's my game.

I wanted to be Carrie Vaughn the awesome writer, not the chick who writes the 'Kitty' books.

I don't think there was a particular book that made me want to write. They all did. I always wanted to write.

'Oscar Wao' for example cohered in a period of terrible distress. All the novels that I wanted to write were not happening.

I'm living out a childhood fantasy. Our house is in a historic district of a small town that I used to read about in storybooks.
