Q. As a writer do you think it is the harder or easier to write urban fantasy/paranormal fiction?

Yes. Hah! Actually, it’s both hard and easy. Easy because there are really no boundaries. Hard because the more complicated your world and plots, the more there is to keep track of it. (Which might be easy for someone who’s organized, but my idea of organization is, well, not that organized.)

Q. When you are not writing what do you read?

Graphic novels, comic books, cookbooks, YA, biographies, research books, the occasional historical romance.

Q. Which one of your House of Comarrè characters is your favorite, and why?

I call dirty pool! That’s like making me pick a body part I’d least like to lose. But okay. Mal. He’s just such a delicious mess.

Q. Who is your favorite author, and why?

Again, that’s a crazy hard question. And I refuse to answer it on the grounds that it may cause me to angst for days.

Q. Of all of your books which one was the hardest to write?

Flesh and Blood, the second book in the series. I wrote Blood Rights to entertain myself, then all of a sudden, I was writing with an audience and an editor. Played some head games with me for a while.
