Seth Jaeger asked Ki Longfellow:

You write in so many styles. Why did you begin writing noir detective novels? And why did you chose the time and the place? Where did your characters come from?

Ki Longfellow I can't help it. The style is dictated by the idea and urge. I was born on Staten Island. Thought it might interesting to have someone look at Manhattan and long for it. Characters come from somewhere within... I never know. They just appear and start talking. As for noir, I adore Raymond Chandler. One of my earliest literary loves.

Jason Howell asked Ki Longfellow:

People talk about "Aha!" moments. What about "I've stopped caring!" moments? Can you recall a particular instance, in writing or in life, where stopping caring was the cure? Where letting go jettisoned you forward, helped you get unstuck?
