It is not enough to know your craft - you have to have feeling. Science is all very well, but for us imagination is worth far more.

I was sent to a finishing school, which didn't last long when mother found out how badly chaperoned we were. Then I 'came out' before going to a domestic science school.

I think there is a tendency in science to measure what is measurable and to decide that what you cannot measure must be uninteresting.

It's very strange writing science fiction in a world that moves as fast as ours does.

I really like being pregnant. Not that there aren't things I don't love, but when I think about what my body is doing - creating a child - it just blows my mind. I'm in awe of the process and science.
