Because I am asked so often I have settled on Water Music, because it's my first and wildest. I had no idea if I could write a novel when I started. So: it's my baby, my firstborn, and one of my most popular titles.

Has there ever been discussion of of a screen adaptation for A Friend of the Earth? I cite it often during discussions of climate change deniers and count it among the most compelling dystopian novels, handled with satire that would transform into a series as engaging as the Handmaids Tale. I'd love to cast it! The time is right!

Hey TC, The Women was one of my favourite books of yours. A week or two ago this recreation of FL Wright's lost works was on CBC's show Spark, thought you'd be interested? http://www.cbc.ca/radio/spark/351-search-history-for-sale-bot-talk-and-more-1.4044685/frank-lloyd-wright-s-3d-revival-1.4044727. San Miguel is next up for me!

I love your books, from World's End to San Miguel, and I am wondering how you find your characters? Do you construct their attributes and motivations before starting to write or do they evolve as you work through the narrative? Forgive me for asking, but you don't seem to like many of your characters, and I am wondering if they evolve in a way that surprises you?
