Autorka sa primárne vidí ako rozprávačka, ktorej príbehy pramenia z postáv a ich reakcií na situácie. Písanie pre ňu nie je len zamestnaním, ale skôr závislosťou, ktorá ju poháňa. Vo svojich dielach sa snaží budovať prepracované fantasy svety s dôrazom na realizmus, kde aj mágia má svoju cenu a postavy čelia bežným životným problémom. Jej tvorba často skúma témy lásky, slobody a hľadania vlastných právd, čo odráža jej osobné krédo.
