Helena asked Camron Wright:

I know your son spent time there among the people. What were the amounts collected for rent? What would that be equivalent to in dollars?

Camron Wright The rents the people paid at the dump were small by our standards. I don’t remember exactly how much Sang Ly had to pay, but it would have been perhaps $10-$15 a month. Remember, however, that when we went back to find the family—after the documentary and just before the book was released—they were earning the equivalent of about $2.50 per day, and that was used just to pay for food to eat.

Karen asked Camron Wright:

In my Kindle version of The Rent Collector (which I LOVED, by the way) in Chapter 29 author Hans Christian Andersen's middle name is left out when he is mentioned. Was this deliberate? Just curious.

Do you write full time or are you employed elsewhere and write part time? If you write part time, how do you balance writing and work?
