Mariia Manko asked Jeff Hoffmann:

When did you realize yourself as a writer? After writing first book, publishing , success or …? You know this feeling inside «I am truly a writer»

Jeff Hoffmann Mariia, thank you for the question. To be honest, I think the imposter syndrome will last a while. A big dose of 'I feel like a writer, now' came when Simon & Schuster bought the book (I built those bookshelves that I didn't feel like I had earned until then) but it still didn't feel real. Another dose came when the ARC arrived and I was able to hold the book in my hands and smell it. When people that I didn't know started to review the book on Goodreads, it really hit. All that said, when somebody asks what I do for a living, it still feels very strange to say that I'm a writer. Maybe that will fade if I manage a second novel?

PacaLipstick Gramma asked Jeff Hoffmann:

This is not a question, but a comment. I am a voracious reader. I probably read an average of three books per week (sometimes more). This one of the absolute BEST books I have read. Not since Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger have I read such an outstanding book. When is your next book coming?

Loretta asked Jeff Hoffmann:

I loved your book Other People’s Children ! Great story and was hard to put down. Do you think you’ll do a sequel to this story? I want to know more about their lives and the challenges they faced.
