Lori Fields asked John Grisham:

Hello. I have been reading your books since The Firm. I have been hooked ever since. While I have loved them all, a couple of favorites include The Painted House and The Rooster Bar, and Skipping Christmas. Of course, The Firm, and A Time to Kill are CLASSICS in my eyes. How do you draw the readers in so fast and hold our attention so well? I try and read other authors, but none “read” as smooth as you! Sincerely Lori

John Grisham Thank you. When you’re watching a movie, if nothing happens in the first ten minutes, it’s probably in trouble. I try to hook the reader with some conflict in the first chapter.
