First off, I LOVED your book Reconstructing Amelia! And my questions for you are, (1) what inspired/motivated you to write Reconstructing Amelia?, (2) what influenced your decision to be a writer?, (3) what was your favorite part about writing Reconstruction Amelia? Thanks, sincerely, Samantha S.

Kimberly McCreight Hi Samantha! Thanks for the questions and for the lovely compliment! I'll answer them all but I'll have to keep them short unfortunately 1) my daughters, most of all but also current events 2) it's all I've ever wanted to do, it just took me a long time to have the courage to do it and 3) escaping into Amelia's character
