Hi Amy, I don’t actually have a question, just wanted to tell you that you are one of my favorite authors! Your writing is intelligent, witty, charming and all of your books are diverse. They don’t follow a formula. I’ve loved everything you’ve written. Can’t wait for your next book. Enjoyed The Sweet Spot but Musical Chairs was perfection! When will you have a new book coming out?
Amy Poeppel Hi Rachel! Thank you so much!! That absolutely makes my day!! Really glad to hear you've enjoyed my novels. I am working away on my 5th book - stay tuned!!! :)

I'm reading The Sweet Spot. It seems to bounce back and forth between being set in NYC and possibly England. I don't understand why. Was this written for a British audience and then at the last minute, set in NYC? It's distracting at best.
Amy Poeppel Hi Holly, The Sweet Spot is set *almost* entirely in New York City. There is a character named Felicity who is from England - and the book opens with her walking through the neighborhood of Greenwich Village in New York. There is a scene later in the book that takes place in Los Angeles and another in Mexico. Otherwise, the book is set almost entirely in or around the brownstone which is located near Washington Square Park… which incidentally is where I live in NYC :)

I think Musical Chairs would make a great movie! Have you shopped it around at all?
Amy Poeppel Hi Catherine, Thank you so much for getting in touch! And thanks for reading Musical Chairs! We're shopping it around, but so so far, we haven't gotten any interest. My second book Limelight is being considered at the moment ... Fingers crossed!!

I won a paperback, "Musical Chairs" on February 20, 2020 and I still haven't received it yet. I was wondering if you could tell me when I'll be receiving it?

As a reader AND a theater nerd, I am loving this book! Could you tell us what inspired the story? And did you get to do any fun behind-the-scenes research?
Amy Poeppel Thank you!! I, too, am a total theater and book nerd - two of my favorite things! Writing my book Limelight was my chance to throw myself into the behind-the-scenes world of Broadway, and I loved every minute. I go to see plays whenever I get the chance, and while I was writing Limelight, I met with actors and producers to get the inside scoop. (Also, back in ancient times when I was in my twenties, I did a little acting, and those experiences were helpful, too.) I also spoke with a few personal assistants and found their stories to be fascinating. Thanks for asking!!
