I'm currently reading The Glass Forest, which I got from a Page Habit box so it came with your annotated notes all throughout, which is really interesting! I've just got to page 92, where Mrs. Hawke calls and speaks with Angie to offer condolences. Your note said this scene is reminiscent of a similar scene in a classic thriller...but I'm stumped! What book is it?? Thanks :)

Hi, Alison. Sorry I just saw this question! The scene is reminiscent of the scene in Rebecca where Mrs. Danvers calls on the house phone and asks to speak to Mrs. de Winter. The second Mrs. de Winter believes Mrs. Danvers is looked for Rebecca, and doesn't know how to respond. In the same way, in The Glass Forest, when Mrs. Hawke calls and asks if it's Mrs. Glass speaking, Angie believes the caller is looking for Silja. Hope this helps -- and I hope you enjoyed The Glass Forest!

Cynthia, We had met at a book club that discussed your book, at Starbucks, in Oct. 2015. I enjoyed your book and meeting you and getting an insider's look at the process was amazing! Thank you again for that opportunity. I have a student in band at DCHS, and we have a fundraiser coming up, that includes a silent auction. Is there a way to get a signed copy of your book The Bookseller for the auction? -Terry
