Ana Marija Šir asked Peter Swanson:

Thank you for creating a character who is strong, bright and talented despite being bipolar. How come you know so much about manic depression?

Peter Swanson Hi Ana,

Thanks for your question. I don't suffer from bipolar myself but someone who is very close to me does. So I have given it a lot of thought, and I wanted to present a character with bipolar who has it under control, who is in a good state. I didn't want to use the disease strictly as a plot point, or a way to create tension. I'm glad you appreciated it. Best, Peter

Darcy Flurry

Darcy Flurry asked Peter Swanson:

Is there any relation between Joan Grieve (from TKWS) and Elizabeth Grieve (from KYD)? If the last names were spelled differently, my apologies - I listened to both books... TKWS, many times over, in fact. If they're not related, do any/all of your books exist in the same universe?

Duc Le

Duc Le asked Peter Swanson:

I have just finished The Kind Worth Saving and absolutely loved it. Lily has become one of my all time favorite characters. May I ask, do you plan to write more stories with her and Henry Kimball? Their odd relationship / partnership is wonderful, and I'd love to read more of their adventures.
