She sounds like a really fun and interesting person. I have a copy of her book on my shelf, but haven't yet read it, and now I am so looking forward to it. She comes across as a really unique and talented individual, and I thought her tea ceremony idea was wonderful! I loved this interview! She sounds like a really fun and interesting person.

I was leaning toward reading the collection based on Trish's review, but the interview pushed me over the edge. The book is now on my list! Super interview.

She's definitely on my list as of...right now. I am often amazed when reading stories set in complete fiction in that everything is remade. I'm such a reader (as opposed to a writer ) and wouldn't know where to begin in creating another time/place. Maybe that's why I'm so in love with a shop that goes so far as to pick my beverage for me. :) Thank you both for a great interview. What a fun, spirited interview!

I went to an Italian restaurant in Seattle once that was kind of like that. They had menus, but they didn't hand them out. It was a small little eatery, and the chef would come out and talk to you for a few minutes and then go back and make you something. The food was incredible, and I've been kicking myself for years because I didn't write down the name of the restaurant when we were there.This was a very entertaining interview to read. I like how the author discussed loving writing vs. needing to write. It's nice to know that writing can be difficult even for the pros. :) I love the idea of a cafe that serves what they think you need.
