Feed’ is about zombies and politics and blogging. It’s about how George Romero actually saved the world! It’s ‘Night Of The Living Dead’ meets ‘The West Wing.’ Seanan McGuire Read Quote
Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ wound up teaching me another, accidental lesson: that sometimes you’re so excited to keep going down the road you’re on, you drive right past your destination. Seanan McGuire Read Quote
When I was getting ready for the release of ‘Deadline,’ when it was coming out soon, I decided that the appropriate way to get people excited about the book would be to write a novella in 30 pieces and publish a piece on my blog every day for a month… during a convention, a week-and-a-half-long trip to New York, and a doll traders’ expo.

I found ‘Bordertown’ when I was standing on the border between childhood and my teens, and it carried me past that transition.

Seanan McGuire’ is my real name; if I’m being silly and third-person about it, she’s a frequently cranky, foul-mouthed Disney Princess on vacation in the real world, where she studies diseases, cuddles reptiles, watches lots of horror movies, and goes to as many corn fields as possible.

One of the things I love best about Marvel is the ‘What If?’ factor; being able to just say, ‘Today we’re going to explore a world where Magneto and Emma never gave back the X-Men.

When I was first writing ‘Feed’ – which was the first book I published as Mira – I talked about it very openly on my blog, on Twitter, that I was writing this book, and it wasn’t until after it was sold that I said ‘Mira Grant’ wrote this book. And the reason there was really purely marketing-based. Seanan McGuire Read Quote
Filk’ is the folk music of the science fiction and fantasy community – you get parodies, you get traditional music that’s had the words slightly modified, and you’ll also get just original works that have been written about science fiction and fantasy works, or with science fiction and fantasy themes.

I was that kid with the glasses and the hungry expression who haunted every library book sale and used bookstore in town: the one who always has a book in one hand and is reaching for the next book with the other. There’s one in every town. Seanan McGuire Read Quote
The first thing that matters: I am a child of the eighties. I grew up in a neon wonderland of talking horses, compassionate bears, hair that didn’t move in a stiff wind, and the constant threat of nuclear war. Seanan McGuire Read Quote
