Literary Birthday – 6 January – Karin Slaughter
Happy Birthday, Karin Slaughter, born 6 January 1971.
Karin Slaughter Quotes
- The stories form in my mind over a period of time, and before I know it, I’m sitting down at my computer writing. Mostly, it’s a matter of thinking of a crime and wondering how Sara, Jeffrey, and Lena will respond. I’m also interested in seeing how the town will respond. It’s very important to me that Grant County seems like a fourth narrator in the story.
- I’m more of a ‘run off into the mountains and write until I collapse’ author. I wish I could be more structured, but it’s been working for me so far, so who am I to judge?
- I’d say on average that the whole process takes around ten to twelve months. Sometimes it goes more quickly, sometimes more slowly.
- I have the great fortune of being able to ask agents at the GBI, or retired cops, for pointers and tips about solving (and committing!) crimes.
