Judy Von asked Andrew Kaplan:

Hi Andrew - I have just finished your book "Homeland - Carrie's Run" - this is not usually my type of book, but once I got into it I could NOT put it down! I do have a question - I was quite surprised when I read on pg. 190 - Bloomington, Il and Normal Community High School. I am very curious as to why you would mention these? I googled your name & it doesn't seem that you have lived in this area. Appreciate answer.

Andrew Kaplan Hi Judy, Hopefully you will also like some of my other books. I think you'll like my most recent, "Blue Madagascar." To answer your question, Saul came from the Midwest, so it was natural for him to choose something there as a cover for his communications with Carrie. I grew up in New York and just did a little research to come up with Bloomington, etc. Andrew Kaplan

Samuel asked Andrew Kaplan:

Hi Andrew. Just finished all your original stand alone novels. My question is this. Robert Harris, de - facto Company handler/liason to Caine, Sawyer and currently Scorpion. How did he come about and what ideas did you consider when creating him and did you forsee him becoming the fixture of your writing that he has evolved into from those early days?

Jonathan Maas

Jonathan Maas asked Andrew Kaplan:

Hello! Scorpion is incredible. I feel it is the ‘foundation’ for the Homeland novels and series in a sense. Two questions: 1) Do you consider it foundational in any way to Homeland? 2) What lessons, if any did you learn writing it that you applied to Homeland?
