Sue Grafton Quotes
I made the rules I figured I could be the one to break them. I thought I would write about xenophobia, a hatred of foreigners. After I stated writing the story there was not a foreigner to be had.

I never figured out how I could get out of this dilemma so I just called it X and weaved X traits into the story.
