About editors: be gracious and not afraid of compromise. No story is ever complete when the author finishes writing it. Most editors know what they're talking about, even if you're 55 and they're 22.
About books: people have told me over and over, and I have discovered myself that no one can ever do more for your book than you can. Agents, publishers, editors...no one is going to promote your book as well as you.
MZ: William Burroughs once said that artists were the true architects of change. What would you like readers to take away from reading Love in the Time of Dinosaurs ? What change might your work inspire?
KA: I think the only thing I (and this book) want to tell people is that they should love one another and themselves. That sounds a bit lame. But it's the only thing worth telling people. This book doesn't have a message - but I think every time love sneaks into a conversation or a story and changes someone, it's a little triumph for people.
Kirsten Alene is also the editor of the webzine Unicorn Knife Fight.
