Hi Chris, I enjoy ALL your books and appreciate you. I grew up in Belmont, MA, next door to Watertown, where there were many Armenians. Sadly, I had not learned of the Armenian Genocide until I was much older; disappointed in what "history" is taught in schools. Looking forward to your next book; hoping you'll visit Manchester, NH. How many miles a day do you ride your bike? Loving all the photos you take.

Thank you, Janine, for your faith in my work and your kind words about THE SANDCASTLE GIRLS. As a grandson of two survivors of the Armenian Genocide, that novel is extremely important to me.
As for biking, I ride five or six days a week, between 25 and 40 miles a ride.
My next New Hampshire appearance is September 23 at 7 p.m. in Newport. Pretty close to Manchester! Details in the link. Thanks again!

Hi Chris, When writing historical fiction, what kind of balance do you use between fact and fiction? I found a wonderful story and am filling in the blanks between what is known and what is speculated, but don't want my work to turn into a "history book" -- which is a challenge for me, as I am a history teacher!

Thanks Chris for your response. I know I definitely loved your allusions to Greek mythology and popular culture that were present in The Flight Attendant. One quick question: Was your Big Bang Theory reference in The Flight Attendant(p, 317) a happy coincidence, given that, (in my opinion) the wonderfully talented Kaley Cuoco is slated to play Cassie Bowden?

No question, just a thank you for being such a great writer. I finished "The Guest Room" today and loved it . I could not put this book down. Did not want to go to bed during my reading. But now I am disappointed that I have already read it & have to wait a long time before you have another book for me. I guess I will go back to some of your others novels & reread again?
