Susan Beth Pfeffer interviewed at Cynsations.

From the interview:

How about advice for speculative fiction writers in general?

I don't really have advice for writers of speculative fiction, partly because I hadn't realized I'd written speculative fiction (or sci fi for that matter) until people started writing about Life As We Knew It. I just thought of it as a problem novel with a very big problem. Also a couple of years ago I made a vow to stop giving advice, and while I haven't been 100% successful, I really have cut down on my advice giving, and the world is a better place as a result.

Did you know that she's working on a third book?  I didn't.
