Madelyn Downing asked Kristin Hannah:

I loved "True Colors"and have read it many times. Another of your books which I have read many times is "Distant Shores" and I wondered if it was loosely based on the career of Paul Hornung? Thanks, Maddie

Kristin Hannah Hi Madelyn---LOL Who is Paul Hornung???

So, no, it wasn't based on him. Is his story similar?

I'm so glad you love the books. Thanks so much

As a fellow Goodreads author who loves Winter Garden, I was wondering what formed the inspiration for that particular novel and the basis of its characters?

Cheryl Dinnie asked Kristin Hannah:

Winter garden was so amazing. I was sobbing at the end and I thought about that book for a long time. You never think of what the average person goes through in a war. ThAnk you for your books.

Kathy asked Kristin Hannah:

In Firefly Lane is there any reason you chose for Kate's last name tobe Mularkey?
