Brenda asked Chris Pavone:

Was there a particular reason why Kate from The Expats appeared in The Accident?

Chris Pavone For fun! I enjoy it immensely when books (or movies or TV shows) reference characters in one another. I think of it as sort of a reward, like a store’s loyalty program: repeat customers get something more out of the experience than first-timers.

Elizabeth asked Chris Pavone:

I actually have 2 questions! First is, if you find yourself in a writing slump, or unable to get it down on paper (if that even happens to you!), how do you go about getting out of the slump? The second question is how are you able to do such great dialogue? I have actually lost a lot of sleep reading your books because once I start them I cannot literally put them down!

Doug

Doug asked Chris Pavone:

Hi Chris, excellent read, could hardly put it down. Curious what happened to Kate in the Accident -- it sounded like Hayden sent her off after the run in in at Grundtvig’s and that was that? Any plans to continue her character in another book?

Brian Frisch

Brian Frisch asked Chris Pavone:

Are you ever concerned about the reader's "acceptance" of some of the implausible circumstances, situations, character background/ personalities when writing your novels? These make for fascinating stories but sometimes I find myself saying..."C'mon...really"? Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed The Expats and The Travelers and can't wait to read/ listen to The Paris Diversion as my next book.
