Here is a preview of the interview:
Sarah_E: Can you tell me how you came up with the idea for Geek Love?
SW: Yeah, thought it’s embarrassingly uninteresting. The opening scene of chapter one, “In Which There is a Battle” paints a fairly accurate picture of my cubicle at work. In Geek Love, Edward is a hotter, smarter, cooler, richer, and version of me. But with a penis. And did I mention hot?
Quite honestly I showed a shocking lack of imagination for this story. I’m beginning to think that’s my thing. People will whisper as I walk down the street, “Pssst…that’s the woman…did you hear about her? The doctors say she was born with no imagination! Can you imagine? Yeah, well, she can’t.”
Sarah_E: ::belly laughs:: I’m pretty sure all of us feel that way at some point, and I have to argue that I think it’s very creative, especially Bella’s love for the zombies.
SW: Thanks. It’s a geek thing.
Sarah_E: Gotta love the geeks. Geeks rule the world. I’m surprised more people don’t understand that knowledge.
SW: They do, they just won’t admit it.
That's so cool. I've been meaning to tell you too...every time I'm playing with my baby and go to "nibble on her tummy to make her laugh" I find myself going "nom, nom, nom" and then I start cracking up thinking of Bella's tshirts and jammies! LOL!
