Abigail Ford asked Susan Meissner:

Hi Susan! I'm currently reading your book, The Girl in the Glass, and might I just say it's amazing. I love the characters and how you describe Florence. Which brings me to my question, I am assuming you spent time in Florence for research purposes? If so, how long did you spend there, and what was your favorite place or thing you saw? It's definitely on my bucketlist to go there, especially since reading your story!

Susan Meissner Hi, Abigail! You know, I've only ever spent two days in Florence, one day each on two different (and too short!) trips to Italy, but it was enough to fall in love! And while I was writing this book I asked friends of mine who had also been what their impressions of Florence were and what they ate, etc., so I had several wonderful meals to include in the book that either I ate or a friend did. Keep Florence on your bucket list! You will love it...

Jana Botkin asked Susan Meissner:

Susan, have you heard of Modern Mrs. Darcy? She has a wonderful blog, and a great podcast called "WSIRN", for What Should I Read Next. In it she interviews someone about what they have read and loved, a book they hate, and what they are reading now. Then she does some "literary matchmaking", and she is truly gifted at it! I think it would be fun for you to be one of her interviewees. Her name is Anne Bogel.

Tracy Martinez Thatcher asked Susan Meissner:

Mrs. Meissner. I have read two of your books. I Love the stories. In both stories there are characters with additional needs. One with what sounds like Autism. It makes me wonder if you have a person in your life with a developmental "disability"? I have a son with Down syndrome and Autism. You present them as the wonderful people they are truly. God Blessed our family with a new perception on the gift we have.
