Where did you get your inspiration for Pretty Baby? I loved that book! What books do you like to read?

Mary Kubica Thank you!! I love reading suspense. Some of my favorites are Sabine Durrant, Heather Gudenkauf, Paula Daly, Megan Abbott, SJ Watson, and so many more! For Pretty Baby, my inspiration was the opening scene - the first time Heidi encounters Willow waiting beside the train with the baby in her arms. I had that image in my mind, and I didn't know who these women were or how their lives would overlap, but I was determined to find out. So glad you enjoyed it!

Most authors are lifelong readers. I would like to know what books and authors were your favorites as a child, and also as an adult?

Jennifer Yohe asked Mary Kubica:

Hi Mary!! Love your books!!! I was curious to know what your favorite type of book to read is. You write this page turning thrillers, but are those the same kind you like to read? Or do you prefer a different kind since you are immersed in the thriller world all the time?
