* '''BB: Your books are always issue-based, but they also feature deeply engaging characters. Which springs from the other in your mind?'''
EL: I don't think my books are really issues based. I just write about stuff that interests me. I suppose if you're looking for a starting point for my novels, you have to hunt for what I call the Big Words - words like faith ([[The Witching Hour by Elizabeth Laird|The Witching Hour]]), forgiveness (''Jake's Tower''), loyalty ([[Crusade by Elizabeth Laird|Crusade]]), endurance ([[A Little Piece of Ground by Elizabeth Laird|''A Little Piece of Ground'']]), the power of love ([[Red Sky in the Morning by Elizabeth Laird|Red Sky in the Morning]]). Does that make sense?
* '''BB: Yes, absolutely. Whenever we review your books, we find ourselves referring to your ''trademark humanity''. How important is empathy in issue-based books?'''
