Julie asked Jane Lebak:

Well I for one read your author bio. I have just entered the Half Missing giveaway because I am a twin and all things twinnian fascinate me. How did you get the idea for the book?

Jane Lebak Hi, Julie! The idea for this book comes from a number of different places, actually. When I was really little, I have a distinct memory of sitting at my Great Aunt Millie's table after dinner while the adults all had coffee and cannoli, and she told this story about someone she knew who'd been on vacation in England and saw a news reporter who looked just like her daughter. My mother and other relatives don't remember this story at all, but it stuck with me.

I had a birth experience similar to Maureen's, and my mother's was similar in a different respect, so when I put them all together, I ended up with a rather intriguing question.

Thank you so much for checking out the book, and I hope you enjoy it!
