I am halfway the Flight Attendant and I am loving it. Cassie character remind me of Leland Fowler (The laws of similar); she is getting more and more in trouble by doing one bad choices after another! My question is if you are going to write another historical fiction story like The Sandcastle Girls, Skeletons at the Feast or The Light in the Ruins? I loved those books and I would love to read new historical novel.

Interesting. I view Cassie as a seriously wounded bird: the sort who will fly into a window, brush off her wings, and do it again the next day. I never viewed Leland as quite so much of a disaster, but I think you're on to something. I really love Cassie: she's a mess, but a mess with one heck of a good heart. I am hoping she is capable of change. Leland? Less sure.
My next novel is set in 1662 Boston -- so, you're getting your wish! It will be published in September 2019.
Thanks for your faith in my work. Very grateful.

Hi Chris!. I really liked THE HOUR OF THE WITCH. Definitely my kind of book I was looking for on witches. As in not too fantastical. Loved MIDWIVES as well. Your narration on your female protagonists are spot on and I love that I can't tell your gender while reading them! You must be very sensitive...Anyway did I hear you're coming out with a new book in 2024? And can you say a short bit on what its about?

Not a question but a comment -- I have read every book by Chris Bohjalian and I just can't believe how many different types of novels that he's written. There is something for everyone, from chills to thrills -- and so many that provoke incredible discussion. My book club (teens at a high school) most recently read CLOSE YOUR EYES, HOLD HANDS and we were blown away...I hope you are already on next book?
