* '''BB: One of the reasons I'd be happier to recommend Starring Kitty to slightly younger readers is that it's such a wonderfully positive book. While there are many superb LGBT novels out there, an awful lot of them have torn my heart out (I'm looking at you, [[:Category:Tess Sharpe|Tess Sharpe]] and [[:Category:Cat Clarke|Cat Clarke]], in particular!) but I actually read this one with a huge smile on my face. How important do you think it is to get a full range of LGBT books like this?'''
KS: Thank you! What I wanted to do with Starring Kitty was to write a romance that just happened to be between two girls. In my books, I tend to err slightly towards how I want the world to be rather than how it actually is, but of course it's also important to have books showing the world as it is right now. (And also how things were and how they've changed, which is why I loved [[:Category:David Levithan|David Levithan's]] Two Boys Kissing so much.)
* '''BB: Another reason for me reading it with a massive smile on my face is that pretty much every character is absolutely adorable. Who's the character outside of your own writing you love most, though?'''
