Sue Grafton Quote
"I work like a dog on these books. I'm gonna be doing maybe 15 to 18 months between books. A book a year is killing me."
"I will never sell [Kinsey] to Hollywood. And, I have made my children promise not to sell her. We've taken a blood oath, and if they do so I will come back from the grave: which they know I can do."
