Basically, I write what...Thanks for asking, Ingrid!<br />Basically, I write what I want to read - and what I can write. That's sort of vague, huh? I guess what I mean is I think of cats a certain way. I see them a certain way, and so that's how I write them. I'd started to say that I write what I want to read, and I don't like cutesy books - nothing against them, but I can't read them. But I do read a lot of hard-edged, dark mysteries, and I don't seem to be able to write them. So... I write more or less realistic mysteries with cats in them, because out of what I want to read, that's what I can write. Or something!Clea Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10810838253598050028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4396875931357506685.post-70874890058507437352009-09-08T04:12:17.159-07:002009-09-08T04:12:17.159-07:00Shades of Grey is wonderful - I can't wait for...Shades of Grey is wonderful - I can't wait for Grey Matters.<br /><br />I loved your answer to the question about the future of mysteries, and it was interesting to me to hear that your publisher wanted more feline content. I think what makes your stories so unique in this particular genre is the fact that the cats don’t participate in solving the murders, they don’t talk, and they act like real cats, which, to me, makes them more “real”. What made you decide to portray the cats in your stories in this way rather than going for the more "cutesy" approach that is typical for animal-themed mysteries?Ingrid Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01874816179648089811noreply@blogger.com
