Hi! I'm a big fan of White Oleander, this is my favorite book of all times. Did you ever think about writing a sequel to it? Or maybe you are working on something else? Are you going to publish a new book anytime soon?
Janet Fitch
Hi Nadea! Thanks for this--no, I haven't thought of a sequel, or a prequel, have a lot of things I want to write, but never say never. I'm finishing a novel right now, it will be published in November, called The Revolution of Marina M. Thanks for asking! Also the movie of Paint It Black is coming out this May. So it's a big year for me.

Hi Janet! I've read "White Oleander" 10+ times now; it seems I need to read it yearly. It's truly my favorite novel, and one of my favorite parts is when Astrid is considering Claire's pearls and wishes her life could be knotted like a pearl necklace so even if something broke, the whole thing wouldn't come apart. Do you recall a particular line or passage from a book you've read that resonated strongly with you?

Hey Janet, I wanted to get your thoughts on writing groups. Do you feel these hinder or help a writer with their novel? I'm in a writing group now and though I think most of the writers are offering valid feedback sometimes I feel there are a couple not being genuinely sincere with their input. I just wanted to see if this is something I should keep investing my time in while working on my novel. Tks Shelly :)
