In the publishing sense, ‘urban fantasy’ does not mean ‘black,’ and that’s pretty ironic, considering that it’s a euphemism everywhere else. It would be great to get that back. – Alaya Dawn Johnson
I love to cook. I’d hoped by now I’d have a big loft. I have this fantasy that between 12 and 4, if you’re in New York, it’s known that I’ll be serving a meal and you can just show up. You can watch TV, hang out, nap. Once a month. Wouldn’t that be nice? – Cara Buono
