Not only have we been fans for more than a decade, but she is just so darn cool in person. We talk about power dynamics, having characters live in different genres (the women of her story are living in a thriller; the men think they’re in a romance), and how she still takes creative risks—and why no writer should aim for a 100 percent publication rate.
