Goodreads asked Ayelet Waldman:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Ayelet Waldman I don't believe in writer's block. You can always write something BAD. Just sit down and focus on writing something shitty. That's what rewriting is for.

Deborah
Deborah asked Ayelet Waldman:

Several characters in Love & Treasure believe themselves to have fallen in love. As a reader, I enjoyed the freedom to imagine how those relationships would have fared in future or under different circumstances. As the author, did you have very clear views on all of the relationships you described? And how sympathetic did you feel towards Dr Zobel in his struggle to retain professional distance?

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Nancy
Nancy asked Ayelet Waldman:

Hi This is not so much a question but a remark. After reading "Love and Treasure" you have become my new favourite author. I recently purchased "Red Hook Road" and have been working my way through the Mommy Track Murders. You are a real talent. Thank you. Nancy Schuchman Smith
