First of all, the dork in me can't help but express how amazed and impressed I was with The Library at Mount Char. It's all I've talked about and I feel like no rebound book will be enough. The characters are all so fleshed out and different; I was wondering which characters are based off of or influenced by people you know. And if I can ask another question that is overly personal, which librarian would you be?

It's been months and I'd still rather be reading about Mount Char. I was wondering, what scene were you most insecure about when writing it? I know when I write I am crippled with frustration and insecurity, particularly with heavily violent or dramatic scenes. Did you ever feel this way? Despite the book being brilliant.

Not so much a question but an observation: I read a ridiculously embarrassing amount of books and, to this day, over a year later, The Library at Mount Char is still at the top of my Favorite Books of All Time list. Obligatory field-verification-question: What, if anything, made you decide to start writing fiction?
