Tony Poidomani asked James Anderson:

Just read "Never Open", there appears to be more to Nadine (Ginny's mother). Did you have thoughts as to how she shaped Ben (scorned, downtrodden, etc.) relative to his "romantic" disposition when enamored with Claire? Is there any depth there to explore?

James Anderson Ben's relationship with Nadine happened when he was younger, and the fact that she had a child and Ben's interest in having a family probably fed into that. But Nadine was an example of the kinds of relationships Ben had in the past and serves to illustrate by comparison just how much he has changed and how different his interest is in Claire. There is a bit more to this in Lullaby Road. Good question. Thanks for writing.

georgia asked James Anderson:

good morning James. I just finish desert diner book. I read it in one sitting and was recommended by a friend. I will now also. My little self funded library carries your books. Desert Foothills Library in cave creek, AZ. I thought the blanket was an interesting way to get money to Ben? He had to be as desperate as your characters. And Ginny had to be smart to balance your other people. georgia

Hannah M. asked James Anderson:

Hi James, I was wondering if you have any story ideas such as characters, items, or places that you've thrown out or given up on that I can use for one of my stories? The story that I'm thinking of is about an island where all story bits end up if they are thrown out or given up on. I've asked other authors so I can get a variety and some truth to the story. It's fine if you don't want to share any. Thanks. ~Hannah
