Jessica asked Hazel Gaynor:

I just wanted to tell you how much I loved The Girl Who Came Home! It's one of the best books I've ever read. It made me feel like I was with Maggie in her travels. Were any of the characters from the book real? Also do you have more books in the works? Thanks, Jessica Morey

Hazel Gaynor Hello, Jessica. Thank you so much for reading The Girl Who Came Home - I'm thrilled you enjoyed it so much. Some of the passengers on Titanic were real, but Maggie, Peggy etc were all from my imagination (although based on a real group of Irish passengers who sailed from Queenstown). You can find all my latest book news on my website www.hazelgaynor.com

Was there ever a time that you felt overwhelmed by the suddeness of your literary rise? I know you have a jouranlistic background, but did you ever need help to cope with the social media side of being published?

Frances Wilson asked Hazel Gaynor:

Just finished reading A Memory of Violets which I loved and could not put down. I am reading "about the book" Are the Memoirs of Albert Shaw fiction, were the sisters on the novel based on real children? Thank you, Fran Wilson

Laura Lee asked Hazel Gaynor:

I wanted to tell you I have really enjoyed your last books and looking forward to this new one. I don't know why these have to be only in form of question?
