Lesa Parnham asked Jennifer McMahon:

I read The Winter People (excellent!) and that led me to The Drowning Kind- so scary I woke my husband up at 4:00 a.m. I went to boarding school as a young girl it was a building that had once been a glamorous hotel. Everyone said it was haunted. A few years after I graduated it burned to the ground. It also had a wooden pool! So I related on a whole new level. can u tell me the next book of yours I should read?

Jennifer McMahon Wow, that boarding school experience sounds amazing! I'm so happy you've enjoyed the books (and I love that you had to wake your husband up at 4am!). If you liked The Winter People and The Drowning Kind, you might enjoy The Night Sister or The Invited. My debut novel, Promise Not to Tell, is a lot of people's favorites. Happy reading!

Elyse asked Jennifer McMahon:

I just wanted to let you know how much I have been enjoying your books. I came across Burntown at a store called Reny's here in Maine. I wrote the title down and than borrowed it from the library. I was hooked instantly to that story. I decided to read another one of your books to see if I would like another one of your stories. I am totally a fan now. Do you think you will ever come to Maine?

Amy asked Jennifer McMahon:

Dear Jennifer, I hope you're happy and healthy these days! I'm reading The Drowning Kind, & didn't think I was too spooked until suddenly I am reluctant to turn off the light; friggen eldritch pool. It's super good - sneak-attack spooky! I'm wondering, do you ever scare yourself while writing? Are you ever on a roll & suddenly like, "damn, I don't want to turn off the light, even though this came from my own brain"?

Does it annoy you when Stephen King is mentioned in regard to your writing? It annoys me ;)
