“Grey Tailored For SF“

I was interviewed for SciFi and said,

“As a teen I was quiet, shy, and my own parents were just too cool to rebel against. The world of Grey was a place where I could vicariously experience the rage, hurt and self-righteousness of being a teen. It was fun–probably more so in fiction [than in reality].”
