Goodreads asked Chris Pavone:

How do you get inspired to write?

Chris Pavone I leave home. On a daily basis, I leave the apartment and go out into the city to interact with other people, to observe them, to be a part of the rest of the world, not separate from it. I also leave New York, sometimes just a few hours’ drive, but I also get on a lot of planes. All my books have drawn inspiration from travel, whether that was living for a while in Luxembourg (EXPATS), or visiting Switzerland on book tour (ACCIDENT), or roaming remote Iceland on vacation (TRAVELERS), or the 2016 trip that led directly to THE PARIS DIVERSION.

Babajaga asked Chris Pavone:

"The Expats" reads like a movie. It was really easy to imagine the book being turned into a film. I understand CBS Films bought the rights. Do you have any information about the progress of this project? It'd be great to actually get to see all the places the book describes. Thank you.

Dan Hickey asked Chris Pavone:

As a new writer, unpublished, I appreciate your story telling skills. Your editing background is obvious. What was it like working on other writers work, whenyou had a spy lurking within? What do you thing of all the formulaic book-mills the punch out the same junk?
