Goodreads asked Karen Little:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Karen Little Make sure you have a rich and interesting life. Much as my characters take things further than I would, they are based on experiences I've had, including the six years I spent in Spain, the setting for my trilogy. You have to live in order to write life, and the darkest of times can be transformed into fiction, with the characters taking on a life of their own. Which is comforting in a strange way.
