She was interviewed, along with her fellow 2014 Rogers Writers' Trust Award shortlisted authors, by glamourous Chatelaine magazine. When asked how her book All Saints developed into a series of linked short stories, K.D. replied:
It started as two stories, “Still Dark” and “Ecce Cor Meum,” that were strongly linked.
