Elle écrit des personnages aux emplois diurnes intéressants, qui savent ce qu'elles veulent et comment l'obtenir (généralement en glissant lentement à genoux). Ses mots préférés incluent "indulgence", "salace" et "Voici vos laissez-passer pour les coulisses du concert de Franz Ferdinand". Elle croit en la littérature érotique basée sur des preuves et garde chez elle un "scientifique domestique" pour l'évaluation par les pairs.
