It lies in all of us. Sleeping... Waiting... And though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir... Open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... Guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey.

It has to do with my mom, who was an extraordinary woman, and a great feminist. It has to do with the people in my life. It has to do with a lot of different things, but -- I don't know! Because I'm not just writing from the female characters for other people. I have a desire to see them in our culture -- that was not met for most of my childhood.
