Sara Gruen

You work hard on a book and throw it out there and then it's beyond your control.

I tend not to think about the reading public at all, or the business, when I'm writing.

I just don't think I've had the desire yet to write a vicious animal - like a dog-gone-bad or anything - where I do feel that I need a balance of all types of humans.

I have no neighbours other than animals and Joshua Trees.

Homosexuality is anti-humanity.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
