I've seen your first name used (Nora) in some recent press i.e. (http://bookriot.com/2014/05/29/fantastic-future-nora-jemisin/). Was this intentional? If so, why'd you decide to do it? (I can guess at the reason for using initials initially!) If it wasn't intentional, how do you feel about it?
N.K. Jemisin

Have you ever felt the need to tone down your passion so that it is accepted by a wider audience or is it that the 400 pages allow you the time needed to explore a subject from many angles?
