Janine Woodworth asked Chris Bohjalian:

Hi Chris, I enjoy ALL your books and appreciate you. I grew up in Belmont, MA, next door to Watertown, where there were many Armenians. Sadly, I had not learned of the Armenian Genocide until I was much older; disappointed in what "history" is taught in schools. Looking forward to your next book; hoping you'll visit Manchester, NH. How many miles a day do you ride your bike? Loving all the photos you take.

Chris Bohjalian Thank you, Janine, for your faith in my work and your kind words about THE SANDCASTLE GIRLS. As a grandson of two survivors of the Armenian Genocide, that novel is extremely important to me.

As for biking, I ride five or six days a week, between 25 and 40 miles a ride.

My next New Hampshire appearance is September 23 at 7 p.m. in Newport. Pretty close to Manchester! Details in the link. Thanks again!
