I felt like I'd culturally arrived when a character on the HBO show 'True Blood' was reading a hardback of 'Heartsick' at Sookie's kitchen table.

I guess people might be surprised to know I read comic books. I'm a Marvel girl, as opposed to DC.

I read a lot fewer thrillers than I think people assume I do.

I was a library rat and a bookworm. I read all the time. I walked to school reading books. I read under my desk.

Of the paperbacks that you see at the airport, I am the most violent woman writer.

I am a control freak, but not when I travel. For some reason when I travel, I am able to surrender more than in my real life. I am able to let go. I think it's why I like it so much.
