Michael Martz asked Chris Pavone:

Chris, I’ve read all your work and really enjoy your writing style. Is it patterned after any other author in particular? Who are some of the ‘greats’ you follow?

Chris Pavone Thank you! No, I don't think my writing is patterned after anyone in particular. What I've always admired are the strongest, most distinctive voices, those writers whose prose is immediately recognizable, and that's what I'm trying to work toward not only in style but in plot and character and themes and, I guess, everything; I hope that when you're reading any passage from any one of my books, you know who wrote it.

Larry asked Chris Pavone:

Have enjoyed each of your books. You and many authors use a little filler regarding picking an imaginary piece of lint from a sleeve or piece of clothing. Is this an authors little inside joke? Thx

I think I saw some foreshadowing at the end of THE ACCIDENT for a sequel...can you reveal if that's a possibility you are thinking about? Enjoyed the book very much!

Cathy
Cathy asked Chris Pavone:

While I've yet to read the Ex-Pats, The Travelers just blew me away with the intricate plot, twists and turns and layered characters. From the review I've read of The Paris Diversion, certainly more intrigue and pulse-racing scenes are expected. May I ask how you maintain that pent-up pacing when writing these edge of your seat novels?
