Hi Carol, I Just finished When The Stars Go Dark and really loved the story and Anna’s character..do you think you’ll revisit it with another book?
Paula McLain
Hello, Carol. Thanks so much for reading! I love hearing that you connected with Anna's character. I sometimes feel that Anna has more stories to tell, yes. Whether this will be my next book, or the continuation of a series, I can't say just now, however. My process is really intuitive. I'm waiting to see what calls me! Warm wishes and thanks for your interest! Paula

Thank you, Ms. McLain, for your gorgeous book. I just finished it last night and absolutely loved it. I enjoyed "The Paris Wife" and picked this up based solely on how much I enjoyed that one. I particularly appreciate that in the back you explained the connection between the two. I know it's now December, but I'm wondering if you would disclose who or what your next book will focus on? Thank you!

Just finished "Love and Ruin" and feel it is your best yet! The conflict encountered by strong, independent women seems to be your forte (see my Goodreads reviews for Circling The Sun & The Paris Wife). Beautiful prose that takes us deep into the character of these women. Hemingway had a different wife for each of the 'stages' of his writing. Any thoughts about Pauline's story or Mary's?

Hi Paula, I am currently reading Love and Ruin, and I cannot get over the authentic feel of this book. I feel that you are writing with complete commitment as if you actually were Martha Gellhorn. How did you research this book? I'm amazed and totally enveloped in this novel. Thank you!
