Goodreads asked Brian Michels:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Brian Michels Romeo and Juliet: A Kiss Through Time, it was originally titled From History With Love. That was in 1988 or so. The book was less a novel and more scaffolding for a story that I thought was interesting. Going though a box of old things I found the original draft. It wasn't all bad. I thought it'd be fun to rework it, and it was. I like the new version, and title, more than the old. Now I can say it took me nearly forty years to write a novel - HA!

Brian, This is rare for me, what is it about the story that has me stopping and walking away rather than just reading it straight through as i mostly do with something as gripping ?

Hi Brian, what are you working on now? Have you read Ishigura's Klara and the Sun? I'm starting it after seeing him in conversation at NYPL. Hope all is well...Heather
