Mindi
Mindi asked Chelsea Cain:

I actually squealed when I read that there will be more Archie and Gretchen books!!! Susan Ward is hands down one of my absolute favorite characters EVER-I just love her to death! And Gretchen is fucking awesome :) That being said, I'm super crazy excited about One Kick and I can't wait to read it! Random Q: If you could watch a favorite movie with one of your characters who would it be and what would you watch?

Anne  (Booklady) Molinarolo
Anne (Booklady) Molinarolo asked Chelsea Cain:

Ms. Cain, how did you dream up a wonderful character like Gretchen? Not many female Mass Murderers out there. She reminds me of Hannibal Lecter before Harris explained him in HANNIBAL.
