Melissa Graham asked Mary Kubica:

Hi - I have very much enjoyed your books so far. Where do you get your ideas/inspiration from? How do you keep the stories twisting and turning until the very end?! Do you enjoy writing books with a 'dark' side?! Looking forward to reading 'Don't You Cry' when it is released. Keep up the great work!

Mary Kubica Hi there! Thanks for the kind comments and the terrific questions. My novels usually just start out as a vague idea or concept that develop into much more over time. I do enjoy writing novels with a dark side! I don't necessarily set out to make them so dark, but for whatever reason, that's where I'm drawn when creating my characters. Hope you enjoy Don't You Cry.

Matt Wells asked Mary Kubica:

Hello Mary. I need advice on writing stories. I'm hopeful to become an author someday and publish my stories. I really enjoy, writing, yet I get writers block frequently which stops me from writing. I also get ideas for other stories which keep me from, finishing stories I was writing at one time. How do I overcome writers block and get ideas for stories I'm already writing?

Hi Mary. I really like writing books and I enjoy reading them, but I find it really hard to write and think of a good ending. How do I find good endings?

Hi Mary, Now that you are on the other end of the dream to becoming a writer (the successful and accomplished end :) ), can you tell me - was it a difficult industry to get in to? Do you have any recommendations for other aspiring writers?
