Q&A with Kristin Hannah discussion

Join me on facebook to get a chance to win an advance reader's copy of my newest novel, Night Road. Good luck! BTW, I answer questions there, too. :)

I so love love reading your books. I am a 60 year old retired grandmother of 5 and I read a lot and belong to a book club. When it is my turn to pick I have the last two times picked you. The balance of love, healing throught life experiances is so enjoyable to me. Keep writing. My questions, what inspires your subjects for your books?

Thank you so much, Patti. Did you know I speak to book clubs via speakerphone? I'd love to talk to your group about Night Road. Check out Kristinhannah.com for details. :)

Sometimes I really wish that I was part of a book club but then again, maybe that would limit my reading choices. Do most book clubs meet in person or is there something like Goodreads groups that you would recommend for us that can't find the time to meet in person?

Kristin your books are amazinggggg! I absolutely enjoy reading them, and am VERRYY excited for your new one! They are charming, beautiful, inspirational, and a "good read!"

Hi Rhonda---

I think a book club can be whatever you want it to be. For me, it's just me and my best friend. For others, it can be a social gathering. I met one book club that had been meeting monthly for twenty-eight years! I think goodreads.com can easily support a book club. Look for people who love to read the same things you do. :)

Thanks so much, Kristina! How did you discover me?

I found one of your books at the library and loved it, and have read a few since. I dont want to read them all right away or I wont have anything to look forward to! :-) Where do you come up with the ideas for your books?

I love all the books I've read... I can seem to relate to between sisters and firefly lane.. I cried on both of them :) that's when u know a book is great :) let me know when your in WA signing I would love to meet u...

Hey Kristina---to be honest, coming up with the idea that I'm willing to spend a year and literally hundreds of thousands of hours on is the key. it's a little bit of magic and a good dose of desperation. :) I find inspiration all around me--with girlfriends, family, and my own life. And there's always tv, magazines, and the news! thanks for asking.

Hey Renee--I look forward to meeting you! If you can't make it, though, I certainly understand. It's a heck of a drive. Suzanne at Liberty Bays Books in Poulsbo can get s personally signed book and mail it to you, if that's easier. :)

Looking forward to your Dallas appearance and getting your new book! I can't wait. I love everything of yours I've read.

Kristin! I'm so glad you said that!! I'd love to bring you my old worn out copy of Firefly Lane~ I should probably buy a brand new one for the occassion...But that book was the first one I read and I passed it to countless girlfriends , who all loved it... So I guess it has special meaning! Can't wait to meet you!!

See you then, Kelley!!! Are you coming to the pre event?

Kristin wrote: "See you then, Kelley!!! Are you coming to the pre event?"

I'm planning to. Trying to figure out if I need to sign up somewhere for the Blue Mesa meet and greet but hanve't gotten an answer on that yet. I will be there though! Bag o' books (some are audios even) in tow. LOL

Hi Kelley---see you at the Blue Mesa. all you need to do is send an rsvp email to Sarah.Goldstein@stmartins.com and you're in!

Just finished Night Road- as usual it took me less than two days and I am sad that it's finished- I need to learn how to read more slowly and savour the books more- I am sure I will read this one again.

I loved the book called night road
