I really enjoyed Censored and it did indeed get me thinking about my freedom to speak my mind. I don't think I have ever appreciated it as much. Thank you. Now for my question, are you working on or planning to work on another book? Perhaps A sequel to your first?

Caroline Bobick I'm so glad you enjoyed the book! I was inspired to write this novel and am still waiting to find where my next inspiration will take me. While I have considered a sequel, I have also considered changing gears completely. Two other ideas that have gotten me excited are: 1) historical fiction taking place in Nicaragua through the eyes of mothers and daughters, and 2) romantic comedy in modern day Istanbul between an American woman and Turkish man (total shift from Censored!). Thanks for the question!

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Caroline Bobick I was inspired to write "Censored" as I noticed similarities between President Trump and Turkish President Erdogan. I was living in Istanbul during the Gezi Park protests and much of the beginning of my book closely mirrors what happened in Turkey at that time. The rest of the book is inspired by events and personal stories of people from Turkey and the USA, as well as other countries, including Nicaragua. The hope for my book is for people to better understand the individual repercussions of silencing free speech and media.
