Colleen Echterhoff asked Matt Cain:

Hi Matt! A friend of mine recommended The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle on the simple fact that I love snail mail. Was there anything that lead you to have Albert be a mail carrier? I adored the book. It was like a warm hug, and I was sure to give it 5 stars. Thank you for writing it.

Matt Cain Hello! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I made Albert a postman as we say in the UK as I thought he could be right at the heart of his community with an insight into everyone's lives but also disconnected from it. And that would be a great start if I wanted to then bring him closer to his community during the course of the book. Does that answer your question? And do you think it worked? x
