• “Writing fiction is the only way I know how to congeal the splashy chaos of reality” – In Carte Blanche
• “Mostly I steal details from people’s lives. Preferably from people I don’t know, because I feel less bad about that” – In All Lit Up

Reviews:

• “Readers willing to give themselves over to some mystery will be rewarded” – In Kirkus Reviews
