Of course they couldn't stop at just five...<br /> Elan Mastai is the author the book <a href="/book/9781101985151" title="All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai"><em>All Our Wrong Todays</em></a> and has been a screenwriter for the past fifteen years.</span></div> </div> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">1. The concept for </span><a href="/book/9781101985151"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;"><em>All Our Wrong Todays&nbsp; </em></span></a> <span style="color:#FFFFFF;"> is such an original twist on time travel. How did you come up with it? </span></h4> </div> &nbsp; <div>I built a time machine and made some really bad personal decisions. The novel is basically autobiographical. No, look, I love time travel stories but it always bothered me that they rarely take into consideration that the Earth moves. Like, really fast and really far every single minute of the day. Traveling back in time even a short duration also means traveling in space an immensely far distance. I thought it would be fun to imagine a method of time travel that took actual orbital mechanics into consideration. From that super nerdy technical point the novel’s plot—which thankfully has very little to do with orbital mechanics—grew. I’d also been thinking a lot about how our ideas of utopia and dystopia had evolved since I was a kid and when it occurred to me I could combine both ideas, the novel slid into focus.</div> &nbsp; &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">2. What authors or works have inspired you? </span></h4> </div> &nbsp; <div>Kurt Vonnegut is a major inspiration. Also Philip K. Dick, Kazuo Ishiguro, J.K. Rowling, David Mitchell, Sheila Heti, Audrey Niffenegger, Junot Diaz, Michel Houellebecq, Aldous Huxley, Michael Ende, John Wyndham, Katherine Paterson, and Neal Stephenson.</div> &nbsp; &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">3. Do you think the utopia in </span><a href="/book/9781101985151"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;"><em>All Our Wrong Todays&nbsp; </em></span></a> <span style="color:#FFFFFF;"> would be a world you would want to live in? </span></h4> </div> &nbsp; <div>Totally! As a husband, father, son, brother, and friend, it wouldn’t be a true utopia without the people I love. But, I mean, flying cars! Robot maids and teleportation and space vacations! Of course I’d want to live there. The “utopia” I write about isn’t without its blind-spots and that’s something my protagonist Toms struggles with as his circumstances change. But every society has its blind-spots. One of literature’s main jobs is to illuminate and question them.</div> &nbsp; &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">4. If you could go back in time, what would you like to witness?</span></h4> </div> &nbsp; <div>When it comes to time travel, people tend to be divided between those who’d want to witness the great moments of history and those who’d want to revisit the intimate personal experiences that define their lives. I’m more of the latter. I’d want to witness the moment I met my wife for the first time. Or the day my parents met. I’d like to spend time hiking the hills of Morocco with my father’s father, who I never got to meet, and play basketball in Depression-era New York City with my mom’s father, who I only knew well-after he could sink a jumpshot. I’d like to taste my grandmother’s cooking again and taste the flavors of her childhood in Vienna. Or just have a conversation with my mom, who died seventeen years ago, before I’d figured out what I was going to be when I grew up. Of course, I’d also like to visit England in the early 1600s to witness the very first production of Macbeth, although I’d probably have to wear a haz-mat suit to avoid dying from viral infections. Time travel is so complicated.</div> &nbsp; &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">5. In the book, Tom unravels time after being rejected by a woman. What’s the dumbest thing you have done after a breakup? </span></h4> </div> &nbsp; <div>Wrote a movie about it starring Harry Potter and Kylo Ren. Which actually worked out pretty well. Maybe I should do more dumb things…</div> &nbsp; &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">6. You do a lot of work in movies, could you ever see this being adapted for the big screen? What do you think would be the biggest challenges? Who would you cast?</span></h4> </div> &nbsp; <div>I’m actually in the middle of writing the movie adaptation right now, so this is all-too relevant. The biggest challenge is time. The novel is 369 pages. The audio book, as a comparison, lasts ten hours. But with a movie I only have around two hours to tell a complex story with a lot of big plot twists and equally important emotional moments and psychological revelations for the characters. Compressing the story without losing all the things I love about it is tough, but it’s fun too, because movies can do all kinds of things that books can’t—and vice versa. In terms of who I’d cast… I can’t answer that right now for some really good but confidential reasons. More importantly, who would you cast? I love that while the book is still only a book, the reader can picture whoever they want.</div> &nbsp; &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">7.

Art history has been crucial to many of your novels, with famous paintings playing key roles. Which Modern Art paintings or artists should readers study to prepare for your new novel? </span></h4> </div> <br /> I’d prefer to preserve the mystery by withholding the names of any <em>specific</em> paintings, but I will tell you that Langdon is a great admirer of Modernists Gaugin and Picasso. In this novel, as he moved into the world of Contemporary Art, Langdon must come down from his ivory tower, set aside his classical predilections, and navigate a landscape of avant-garde works that challenge his very definition of art. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">2. You once gave the writing advice: “Create something and throw it out before anyone can see it. Repeat the process until you create something you can’t bear to throw out.” Is throwing out drafts part of your writing process? Have you ever thrown out a whole novel? </span></h4> </div> <br /> &nbsp;I’ve heard that some writers “get it right the first time,” but I am definitely not one of them. For every page printed in my novels, I have invariably written at least ten that are discarded. When I speak to aspiring writers, I try to share with them my belief that the single most important skill they can learn as a writer is that of <em>separation</em> – that is, being able to read their own work as an “outsider” and ruthlessly delete anything that does not serve their story. I have never thrown out an entire novel, but I once had a computer crash that deleted the first one-third of <a href="/book/9780743493468"><em>Angels &amp; Demons</em></a> back in 1998. That was a very hard day for me. Ironically, when I finally gathered myself and went back to rewrite the novel, the story evolved into something better. And yes, I now back up on multiple machines. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">3. Your books are dense with information about history, art, and conspiracy theories, not to mention always set in culturally rich cities. Can you describe your research process and how research fits into your book-writing process? </span></h4> </div> <br /> For me, research always begins with reading – gathering ideas from history books, newspaper articles, websites, and beyond. Once I’ve read enough to choose a topic for a novel, the next wave of research is done in person – interviewing historians, visiting possible locations, and gathering the details that I’ll need to write the book. The research process is great fun but also very time-consuming, and I always end up with far more information than I could ever use in a novel. For that reason, researching and writing an informative yet compact thriller always feels a bit to me like making maple sugar candy: First you have to tap hundreds of trees, and then you must boil down the sap until you’ve distilled a bite-sized nugget that encapsulates its essence. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">4. For readers (particularly young readers) interested in the fascinating aspects of art history, conspiracy theories, and secret history that fill your novels, where would you suggest they go to learn more? </span></h4> </div> <br /> My original interest in secret history sparked while growing up in New England, surrounded by the clandestine clubs of Ivy League universities, the Masonic lodges of our Founding Fathers, and the hidden hallways of early government power. New England has a long tradition of private clubs, fraternities, and secrecy. For young readers interested in learning more about secret history, I recommend they begin with Manly P. Hall’s <a href="/book/9781585422500"><em>The Secret Teachings of All Ages</em></a> – a beautifully illustrated book packed with codes, mysteries, and lost history. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">5. What were your favorite books growing up? </span></h4> </div> <br /> I was a huge fan of Madeleine L’Engle. Her <a href="/book/9780312367541"><em>A Wrinkle In Time</em></a> remains one of my all-time favorite books. I also loved the Hardy Boys mysteries along with the stories of E.B. White, Roald Dahl, and Mark Twain. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">6. Your books are filled with puzzles and codes for readers to solve. What is your favorite real-life puzzle or code that you haven’t managed to crack yet? </span></h4> </div> <div><br /> I’ve always been captivated by the <a href="/book/9781786780775">Voynich Manuscript</a> – the mysterious, 15th century, encrypted codex that still baffles cryptologists, linguists, and historians. The illustrated manuscript was just re-published in a spectacular new edition, actually, and I’ve spent a lot of time studying the text, images, and diagrams. Sadly, I’ve come no closer to deciphering the document’s meaning and purpose. I really hope someone can crack it in my lifetime. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">7. Your books have been described as riveting thrillers that are difficult to put down. Do you set out to write page-turners?</span></h4> </div> <br /> Yes, I work hard to construct fast-paced stories with lots of suspense. For me, the goal is always to create a plot with just the right blend of surprising facts, exotic locales, cliff-hanging intrigue. When I hear that a reader can’t put down my book, I know I’ve done my job. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">8. History is clearly something that you are passionate about. What is it about understanding global history and stories that you find so compelling? </span></h4> </div> <br /> For me, the single most compelling aspect of history is that history is not always as accurate as we might believe. Throughout the ages, our trusted tales of “what happened” have always come from the same source – the winners. In other words, when cultures clash, the surviving people decide how their story will be told. For this reason, I am passionate about examining hidden histories and secret documents in an effort to unearth alternate viewpoints, lost facts, and new ways to interpret the stories we’ve all believed since childhood. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">9. Did you always want to be a writer? </span></h4> </div> <br /> I’ve always loved writing. When I was five years old, my mom helped me write and publish my first book. I dictated, she transcribed, and we did a print run of one copy with a cardboard cover and a two-hole punch binding. The book was titled: <em>The Giraffe, The Pig, and the Pants On Fire!</em> I still have it today. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">10. Back in the 1990s, before you were a household name, you would write to individual readers personally. The author-reader relationship has obviously evolved since then. Do you miss those days? </span></h4> </div> <br /> I do miss the days of interacting personally with readers. I think it’s because I spent so many years as a teacher and loved that face-to-face process. Writing is a solitary journey, and so I am always excited to go out on book tour and meet readers one-on-one. I learn so much by listening to the questions they ask.</div> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp;</div> <div style="background-color: #F0F8FF;"> <h2 class="text-center section-title"><a href="/5-Questions"><span style="color:#004990;">Interviews with More of Your Favorite Authors!</span></a></h2> <h4 class="rteright"><a href="/5-Questions"><span style="color:#004990;">&gt;&gt;Click Here</span></a></h4> </div> </div> </div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="addtoany first last"><span> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_target addtoany_list" id="da2a_2"> <a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a> <a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a> <a class="a2a_button_pinterest"></a> <a class="a2a_button_google_plus"></a><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hudsonbooksellers.com%2F10Q-Dan-Brown&amp;title=RSS%20feed%20%7C%20Hudson%20Booksellers"><img src="/sites/all/modules/custom/addtoany/images/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" alt="Share this"/></a> </span> </span></li> </ul> Tue, 12 Sep 2017 22:04:15 +0000 HudsonBooksellers 11232 at https://www.hudsonbooksellers.com 5 Questions with Joe Hill https://www.hudsonbooksellers.com/5Q-Joe-Hill <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><h1 class="text-center section-title">5 QUESTIONS</h1> <h1 class="text-center section-title">WITH JOE HILL</h1> <div>Our bookseller <a href="/mike-r">Mike</a> got the chance to ask one of his favorite authors five questions.

<div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">1. You have been successful in many forms of entertainment including Graphic Novels, Short Stories, Novellas, Films and Novels. Do you have a preference among them, and if so what was your favorite project to work on? </span></h4> </div> <br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; Probably the new book, <a href="/book/9780062663115"><em>Strange Weather</em></a>, has been my favorite. It's a collection of four short novels, stories about guns and the grotesque, the impossible and the unstoppable. I wrote them longhand over the course of the last five years, jotting them down in between more demanding projects. You could argue that the novella is the best of all literary forms. You get all the depth of characterization to be found in a full length novel, and all the pedal-to-the-floor energy of a short story. Most of all... they're fun to write. &nbsp; &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">2. Your writing style stands out as eerily unique, as a result does this attract a particular fan base? </span></h4> </div> <br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; I seem especially popular with the discriminating, thoughtful, and highly literate readers who frequent Hudson Books. What can I say? Such folks obviously have good taste. &nbsp; &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">3. The covers on your creations are very artistic and eye catching. How much input do you have towards the final product? </span></h4> </div> <br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; I've always had something of a comic book imagination... my very first professional submission as a writer was a Spider-Man story I sent to Marvel at the age of 12 (they turned me down). It's probably no accident that decades later I wound up writing a series of six graphic novels, Locke &amp; Key, about a haunted New England mansion full of reality-bending keys. It's always a thrill to see what a gifted artist will bring to a tale, and I've had the good fortune to work with some of the best. In <a href="/book/9780062663115"><em>Strange Weather</em></a>, I joined forces with four different illustrators - they each took a story and put his or her unique visual stamp on it. I think readers will dig the eye candy. &nbsp; &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">4. Looking back, has the decision of a name change accomplished what you intended to achieve?</span></h4> </div> <br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; Bernard Malamud - author of <a href="/book/9780374502003"><em>The Natural</em></a> and <a href="/book/9780374529383"><em>The Fixer</em></a> - said the first and hardest job for the artist is to create themselves. I think that's right... every artist has to develop their own identity, their own voice. For me that started with being Joe Hill. &nbsp; &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">5. Relating to your professional career of writing, what would you consider your greatest achievement? </span></h4> </div> <br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; Every day I get to sit down and play make-believe for a living. I've been at it for over a decade, and people still seem interested. That's the only achievement that really matters in this business. &nbsp; &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">6. Who do you feel has a firm grasp on the "dark" fiction genre today?</span></h4> </div> <div><br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; Oh, man, there's so much great stuff to choose from. Fans of the scary stuff will want to turn their attention to M.R. Carey, author of <a href="/book/9780316334754"><em>The Girl With All The Gifts</em></a>, <a href="/book/9780316300278"><em>Fellside</em></a>, and <a href="/book/9780316300339"><em>The Boy on the Bridge</em></a>. He writes horror and dark fantasy with great intelligence and humanity.

I was hooked from page one and began recommending this book to everyone I spoke to. When Borders sadly went out of business, I continued to carry the torch, becoming the Book Manager for Hudson Booksellers at SeaTac. I promoted</span> <a href="/book/9780345522030" title="Songs of Willow Frost by Jamie Ford"><em><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">Songs of Willow Frost</span></em></a>&nbsp;<span style="color:#FFFFFF;"> with a review in our </span> <a href="/best-of-2013" title="Best Books of 2013"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">Best Books of 2013</span></a>&nbsp;<span style="color:#FFFFFF;"> brochure.</span></h4> </div> <br /> Thank you! And I’m sorry about Charlotte on page 184. I tried to talk her out of it.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">As a fellow “hopeless romantic”, I nearly cried when I heard that you met your wife at the public library and proposed at a bookstore! What role does Leesha play in your writing process? Does she assist in research or give you a wide berth?</span></h4> </div> <br /> I did meet Leesha at the public library. And it wasn’t even singles night, nor was I hanging out in the 300 Section hitting on strange women (for those who don’t remember your Dewey Decimal System, the 300s are <em>Human Sexuality</em>). It was just the wonderful, magical, public library.<br /> As far as how Leesha factors into my writing—she’s my wise reader. She marks up the pages with “Stop being lazy, show me!” or “Sorry, white-girl moment, I have no idea what this Chinese thing is.” Every writer needs that kind of honesty.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">I grew up in West Seattle and experienced desegregation of Seattle Public Schools, with many Asian-American students being bussed to West Seattle High School from Beacon Hill. I value the friendships that this created, however, I really only scratched the surface of learning about the Asian culture. Your book really opened my eyes to how life in Seattle was for many immigrants. Can you give us an example of your school-age memories, and how you were treated?</span></h4> </div> <br /> Most of my memories revolve around the slow, coming-of-age awareness that I was not like everyone else. From having a Chinese father with a Caucasian wife, which was quite uncommon. (It seemed like it was just Bruce Lee and my dad). To never feeling Chinese enough because I didn’t speak Cantonese, but also never feeling white enough because I ate things like dried cuttlefish, which freaked out my friends.<br /> That catharsis culminated on a college application where I had to check a box for White or Asian. There was no box for half, so I’m left thinking, <em>what am I, and which parent do I care more about today?</em><br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">Since history is such an important element of your writing, I wonder which decade you would wish to visit or live in if time-travel was possible.</span></h4> </div> <br /> Oh, this is a question <em>I’ve actually pondered</em> since the third grade. My answer now is the same as when I was eight years old. I’d go back in time to June 1938 and buy Action Comics #1 (first appearance of Superman!) Then I’d move on to Marvel Mystery Comics, Detective Comics, basically my time-travel fantasy revolves around comic books.<br /> I know, I should probably give some sage-like answer about going back and watching the signing of the Declaration of Independence or I should kill a young Adolf Hitler during WWI, but…*sigh*…what can I say? I was that oddball in high school who thought Stan Lee was infinitely cooler than Hugh Hefner.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">Two words that I would use to describe you are “Humble” and “Sensitive”. What two words would your kids use to describe you?</span></h4> </div> <br /> Total geek. (See previous answer). I’m the one who drags them to wait in line for midnight showings of movies; I pass out comics on Halloween, and I still play D&amp;D once a month (Leesha plays too!). Luckily my children appreciate my geek cred. Here’s a Tardis bookshelf that we built for my daughter’s birthday.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="row no-gutters"> <div class="col-lg-1 hidden-md hidden-sm hidden-xs">&nbsp;</div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-5 hidden-sm hidden-xs"><img class="img-responsive" src="/sites/hudsonbooksellers.com/files/dr%20who%201.jpg" style="width:100%; max-width:450; margin: 10px;" /></div> <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-7 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"><img class="img-responsive" src="/sites/hudsonbooksellers.com/files/dr%20who%202.jpg" style="width:100%; max-width:600; margin: 10px;" /></div> </div> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">One of my favorite quotes from a previous interview regarding an author’s morning beverage was: “A freshly squeezed glass of my own tears.” There is definitely something that draws us to heartbreak, tragedy and loss. Like Henry, is there a person, place or thing that haunts your memory?</span></h4> </div> <br /> I embrace the melancholy that saturates places like the Panama Hotel, or the Wah Mee Club in Seattle’s International District.<br /> The Wah Mee was a back-room gambling parlor that became the location of the worst mass-murder in Washington State history (thirteen people died there in 1983). But it’s also where my grandparents met in 1928. My grandfather was a blackjack dealer and my grandmother was a coat-check girl.<br /> Mysteriously, the place burned down on Christmas Eve two years ago, but it still haunts my imagination.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="row no-gutters"> <div class="col-lg-2 col-md-1 hidden-sm hidden-xs">&nbsp;</div> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-10 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"><img class="img-responsive" src="/sites/hudsonbooksellers.com/files/wah%20mee.jpg" style="width:100%; max-width:450; margin: 10px;" /></div> </div> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">I cannot wait (at least not very patiently!) for your new novel to be released.

Is genre a helpful starting point for you when you begin a book? Is it something you consider? As in “now I’m going to write a western” etc., or is there something more organic to your approach?</span></h4> </div> <br /> I do seem to take solace in having a set starting point: <a href="/book/9780062041289"><em>The Sisters Brother</em></a> being a western, <a href="/book/9780062281203"><em>Undermajordomo Minor</em></a> being fable-influenced. There’s a comfort in the familiarity of an established landscape, but the fun part comes later, when I’m veering off course and towards more personal terrain.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">2. You describe your new book </span> <a href="/book/9780062281203" title="Undermajordomo Minor by Patrick DeWitt"><em><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">Undermajordomo Minor</span></em></a>&nbsp;<span style="color:#FFFFFF;"> as something of a ‘bookend’ to your last book, </span> <a href="/book/9780062041289" title="The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt"><em><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">The Sisters Brothers</span></em></a>&nbsp;<span style="color:#FFFFFF;"> (A </span> <a href="/best-of-2011" title="Hudson Best Books of 2011"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">Hudson Best Book of the Year</span></a><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">). The books are very different in subject and setting but there are certainly parallels that can be drawn between them. Can you discuss what you mean with this bookend business?</span></h4> </div> <br /> I suppose I meant that they’re stemming from an ongoing fascination I have with not-now. I’m ready for this anti-contemporary fascination to pass, and I believe it will, but I’m finding it slow to go.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">3. Who are some of the authors you feel most affinity to and/or who have most influenced your work?</span></h4> </div> <br /> I’m reading a Paula Fox book, <a href="/book/9780393351101"><em>Desperate Characters</em></a>, and admiring to the point that it seems curious I was living without it before. This is exciting, but I have to remind myself it happens over and over again. There are endless books, and the list of authors who inspire me is always changing. I did include a list of authors on the acknowledgment page of <a href="/book/9780062281203"><em>Undermajordomo Minor</em></a> who influenced that specific text.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">4. Are you already at work on your next project?</span></h4> </div> <br /> In that I’m talking about it publicly without having actually begun the work, and thus likely jinxing the project, yes, hard at work.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">5. Your novels take place all over the world, and the last two feature a lot of travel. Do you like to travel? Or perhaps more precisely, to set off on adventures?</span></h4> </div> <br /> I’m not a natural traveler in that I’m neither hardy nor particularly curious about places or events taking place outside my field of vision, which is sad, but what are you going to do. My work has yanked me to all sorts of odd corners of the world, though, and I’ve come to enjoy it, and it does sometimes feel an adventure in the classic youthful definition. Having just come back from tour I feel like I never want to leave home again, but this’ll pass soon enough, I’m sure.<br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</div> <div style="background-color: #F0F8FF;"> <h2 class="text-center section-title"><a href="/5-Questions"><span style="color:#004990;">5 Questions with More Favorite Authors!</span></a></h2> <h4 class="rteright"><a href="/5-Questions"><span style="color:#004990;">&gt;&gt;Click Here</span></a></h4> </div> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-posting-date field-type-datetime field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single">Monday, February 22, 2016 - 6:15pm</span></div></div></div> Mon, 22 Feb 2016 23:20:17 +0000 HudsonBooksellers 6284 at https://www.hudsonbooksellers.com 5 Questions with Karin Slaughter https://www.hudsonbooksellers.com/5Q-Karin-Slaughter <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><h1 class="text-center section-title">5 QUESTIONS</h1> <h1 class="text-center section-title">WITH KARIN SLAUGHTER</h1> <div>Our bookseller <a href="/Sydne-W">Sydne</a> got the chance to ask one of her favorite authors five questions.

<div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">1. Conventional wisdom says “write what you know”. What is it that draws you to dark situations with peril and violence?</span></h4> </div> <br /> I think it’s the same thing that draws the majority of crime readers (which, actually, is the majority of readers because crime is by far the most popular genre). I want to know why people do bad things. I suppose this comes from growing up just outside of Atlanta during the time of the Atlanta Child Murders. I was certainly not the demographic of the victims, but I remember quite clearly having this epiphany that children could be hurt. That had never occurred to me before because I basically lived in Mayberry. This revelation was something that informed my reading as well as my writing.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">2. There have been so many adaptations of good mysteries made into movies or tv series recently (<em>Rizzoli &amp; Isles</em>, <em>Bosch</em>, <em>Reacher </em>), what are the prospects for a <em>Will Trent</em>&nbsp; series? And who would play Will Trent and Sara Linton – please don’t say Tom Cruise!</span></h4> </div> <br /> Aw, come on. Let’s be honest—there’s no actor alive who looks like Reacher, so why not go with somebody who’s the biggest movie star on the planet? The <em>Will Trent</em> series has been optioned for TV, and they’re working on the script now. For Will, I like Armie Hammer or Michael Fassbender, because they are sexy guys, but it’s not all about being sexy for them. I don’t know about Sara. Maybe Rachel McAdams? Though she’s not a red-head, but I’ve always loved Sandra Bullock.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">3. How do you determine whether to write a stand-alone piece like</span> <a href="/book/9780062429056" title="Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter"><em><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">Pretty Girls</span></em></a>&nbsp;<span style="color:#FFFFFF;"> or to continue the series?</span></h4> </div> <br /> I took a break from <em>Will Trent</em> because I was at the point where I wasn’t excited about the next story. Excitement is actually the most important thing a writer brings to a project, and I owe it to my readers to give them interesting stories that I am passionate about writing. So, I took a break with <a href="/book/9780345547507"><em>Cop Town</em></a>, and I wasn’t sure whether or not to go back to Will Trent when the idea for <a href="/book/9780062429056" title="Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter"><em>Pretty Girls</em></a> struck. It’s hard to explain, but it’s kind of like the idea tells you where to go next. I liked the challenge of writing a story that’s told from the perspective of the family of the victim. I liked the idea of not writing from a cop’s point of view. These were really big challenges for me, and meeting those challenges helped me get back to Will Trent with a renewed excitement (<a href="/book/9780062430212"><em>The Kept Woman</em></a>, with Will and Sara, will be out next year).<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">4. When you start a novel, do you know how it will end or does it unfold as you write?</span></h4> </div> <br /> I always know the why, as in why the bad person (or persons) did the bad thing. For me, it’s important to know that before I start a novel because the entire structure of the novel leads to that reveal. If I don’t have a certainty about where I’m going, I tend to meander, which wastes a lot of time. So basically, when I start writing a book, I already know in my head who did it, why and for the most part how my narrators are going to figure it out. As a reader, I hate when you get to the end and think, “oh, the writer didn’t know who did it so they just picked someone.” You have to play fair with the reader. The end should be an “aha” not a “wtf?”<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">5. You have fans all over the world and yet your characters have stayed pretty close to the Atlanta area, with Grant County being just a short drive away. Can you talk a little about the South as a character in your books and how it affects the plot and informs your writing?</span></h4> </div> <br /> The south is always a character in my stories. It’s who I am. Most (if not all) writers are regional writers. Even when Ray Bradbury was writing about Mars, he was really talking about the folks in Waukegan and Tucson.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">6. Bonus question – I’m sure you get asked this all the time but I feel compelled. It’s about your name. With the body count in your books – is your given name actually … Karin?</span></h4> </div> <br /> Strangely, it is. I don’t know what my parents were thinking.<br /> &nbsp; &nbsp;</div> <div style="background-color: #F0F8FF;"> <h2 class="text-center section-title"><a href="/5-Questions"><span style="color:#004990;">5 Questions with More Favorite Authors!</span></a></h2> <h4 class="rteright"><a href="/5-Questions"><span style="color:#004990;">&gt;&gt;Click Here</span></a></h4> </div> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-posting-date field-type-datetime field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single">Thursday, February 18, 2016 - 10:15am</span></div></div></div> Thu, 18 Feb 2016 15:07:05 +0000 HudsonBooksellers 6251 at https://www.hudsonbooksellers.com 5 Questions with Paula McLain https://www.hudsonbooksellers.com/5Q-Paula-McLain <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><h1 class="text-center section-title">5 QUESTIONS</h1> <h1 class="text-center section-title">WITH PAULA MCLAIN</h1> <div>Our bookseller <a href="/jennifer-h">Jenn</a> got the chance to ask one of her favorite authors five questions.

The women you write about have led such exciting and over the top lives, but they aren’t well known in history. How do you choose who to write about?</span></h4> </div> <br /> Actually, it feels a lot like my characters choose me rather than the other way around. I’d never heard Hadley’s name before she reached out to me through the pages of Hemingway’s memoir, <a href="/book/9781439182710"><em>A Moveable Feast</em></a>. I suppose that was part of her appeal, that she was utterly new to me, but more than this even the shadow of her obsessed me instantly. I lunged at biographies, needing to know everything about her, and that’s how I found my way to Hemingway and 1920’s Paris and that entire world.<br /> Nearly the same thing happened when I read Beryl Markham’s <a href="/book/9780865477636"><em>West With the Night</em></a>. The same instant connection; the same recognition that something special was happening, and that I had to know everything I could, immediately, about Beryl. Though I’d just met her, I already knew she would change my life.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">2. Is it harder or easier to write a novel based on real people?</span></h4> </div> <br /> Good question—but I think it’s both! There is a challenge, definitely, in tackling a life where the plotline, for all intents and purposes, has already been written. My job, then, becomes find the story within the story, and discovering the arc that I want to draw out and point to within the larger scope of the life. Sometimes the facts are troubling. Sometimes the actual historical figures have done baffling things that make me want to pick them up and shake them. But in the end there is also real satisfaction and a powerful reward in learning true empathy for my characters. In overcoming those hurdles. And honestly, I can’t quite imagine the payoff being the same for fictional characters.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">3. </span> <a href="/book/9780345521316" title="Paris Wife by Paula McLain"><em><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">The Paris Wife</span></em></a>&nbsp;<span style="color:#FFFFFF;"> shot up the bestseller list and stayed on top for over a year. How has that affected your life?</span></h4> </div> <br /> The runaway success of <a href="/book/9780345521316"><em>The Paris Wife</em></a> was such a wonderful surprise, and changed my life in all sorts of ways. The main thing is that I get to focus on my passion full time now, and just write—without having to cocktail waitress, or stitch together three different teaching jobs. That’s <em>such</em> a gift, I can’t tell you. I also have a readership for the first time. It’s so gratifying to go to events and hear the way readers are relating to my characters and the worlds of my books. It makes me feel connected to those readers, to the whole endeavor of storytelling, and shows me just how special my job—my vocation—is. I get to touch lives.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">4. Since you have been touring, have you had any memorable fan experiences or seen your books in any unusual places?</span></h4> </div> <br /> The coolest fan experiences for me are when I meet people at events who actually knew my characters or have bumped against their lives in some meaningful way. Early in my tour for <a href="/book/9780345521316"><em>The Paris Wife</em></a>, for instance, I met several members of Hadley’s family who’d come to an event in St. Louis (Hadley’s home town), and surprised me. That was such an emotional moment. Once I did an event in Chicago where a guy stood up at the back of the room during the Q&amp;A and told me he owned the building on North Dearborn Street where Earnest and Hadley lived when they were first married, in 1921—and then he asked if I wanted a tour. <em>Did I?!?</em> Amazing!<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">5. In </span> <a href="/book/9780316400602" title="Like Family by Paula McLain"><em><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">Like Family</span></em></a>&nbsp;<span style="color:#FFFFFF;">, you talk about growing up in the foster system. How do you feel those experiences affected your writing style?</span></h4> </div> <br /> My difficult childhood made me a reader, I have no doubt, and a very specific kind of reader, too…ready to disappear into worlds and be swept away. I think I learned an acute empathy because of the losses I suffered, and that my own experience made me susceptible to others’ stories. As I began to write, and particularly when I began to write historical fiction, I felt powerfully that I was ready to disappear into other worlds on this plane, too—to take on other voices and points of view. Honestly, I can’t imagine being the kind of writer I am now, or having the same evolution and transformation having come on any other path.<br /> &nbsp; <div class="container-fluid" style="background-color: #004990"> <h4 class="rtecenter"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">6. We all want to know – what’s next?</span></h4> </div> <br /> I have a new idea for another historical novel with a real life protagonist, set in a time period and world that’s already blowing my doors off. I’ve just begun the writing and researching, so feel it’s too soon divulge my subject. But keep your fingers crossed for me, Hudson readers!<br /> &nbsp; &nbsp;</div> <div style="background-color: #F0F8FF;"> <h2 class="text-center section-title"><a href="/5-Questions"><span style="color:#004990;">5 Questions with More Favorite Authors!</span></a></h2> <h4 class="rteright"><a href="/5-Questions"><span style="color:#004990;">&gt;&gt;Click Here</span></a></h4> </div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-posting-date field-type-datetime field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single">Thursday, January 28, 2016 - 10:00am</span></div></div></div> Thu, 28 Jan 2016 15:05:06 +0000 HudsonBooksellers 6041 at https://www.hudsonbooksellers.com
