Where do you find inspiration?
Usually in my obsessions. If something is haunting me, for any number of reasons, then I usually end up writing about it.
What advice do you have for aspiring authors?
Never give up.I'm the poster child for that because after 8 novels that had good reviews but very poor sales, I've become a NYT bestselling author with my 9th book, thanks to my publisher Algonquin. Write every day. Help other writers. Have faith.
What are you reading right now?
"A Gate at the Stairs" by Lorrie Moore
What's your favorite opening line from a book?
"Today I'm Five. " -- "Room" by Emma Donughue
If you could sit down at dinner with three other authors, living or dead, which three authors would you choose?
F. Scott Fitzgerald (but not while he's drinking), so I could talk about The Great Gatsby, Charlotte Bronte because I would want to befriend her and take her around NYC, and Charles Dickens because he knew how to keep the pages turning.
