Interview with BR Kingsolver, Author of Dark Running

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Dark Running?

A lot of my books incorporate some ideas from Celtic mythology, but the idea of those myths becoming real in our world was intriguing. And the idea of an anti-Tinkerbell sounded fun.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Fantasy and science fiction. Depends on my mood.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Hekate by Nikita Gill; Memory and Dream by Charles de Lint; Space Deputy by Jenny Schwartz; and about 200 more.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Alanis at the Queen’s ball.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

I can write anywhere.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

If you can’t be a good example, you’ll just have to be a horrible warning – Catherine Airde

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

That fairy tales weren’t Disney feel-good stories.
