Jenny Schwartz answered Margaret Sharp's question: What came first, the title (which is brilliant!) or the story? Hi Margaret! It's been ages since I've been on Goodreads, and it's so lovely to chat again. Are you asking about "Stars Die" or "Hexes Fly" or a different title altogether?

“Good writing is good writing. In many ways, it’s the audience and their expectations that define a genre. A reader of literary fiction expects the writing to illuminate the human condition, some aspect of our world and our role in it. A reader of genre fiction likes that, too, as long as it doesn’t get in the way of the story.”
