Kimberly asked Jane Green:

Good day! My questions are about your female characters. 1) Do find inspiration for them through personal situations/friends/family members or through "people watching" and stories/gossip of others? 2) Do find a vast difference in how women react to different situations based on their Country of Origin? i.e. British women vs. American women

Jane Green Kimberly, I do indeed find inspiration in stories I hear, people I know, situations I observe, and I am ALWAYS observing...I tend to stay a little on the outside, always watching. As for British women reacting differently, I suspect they do a little, but emotions tend to be universal. I have re-introduced British protagonists in my now-very-American-novels, which I am really enjoying because I don't have to second guess how they will react.

Peg Van kleef asked Jane Green:

In Tempting Fate, the theme of forgiveness underscores the plot. Do you feel that not only your characters, but people in general, are capable of forgiveness on such a grand scale? And does that theme continue in Saving Grace?
