I enjoyed your debut novel, 3 stars out of 5. I found your novel to be well-written. I enjoyed your style of writing; it reminds me of a Canadian Author; Linden McIntyre, ``The Bishops Man``. The dysfunctional family you write about is very real. The character I liked the most was Stephaine. Will there be a sequel to this novel?
Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney
Thank you for reading. I'm not familiar with The Bishop's Man but I'll check it out. No sequel to this book. I'm happy with where I left The Plumbs.

Hi Cynthia! I loved your book. I found it very entertaining and I couldn't wait to see how it ended. I have 2 questions. How long did it take you to write the Nest from beginning to end? Also, I'd like to know how you deal with negative critiques and criticism in general, including random comments online. It seems like no one in the creative fields has immunity from criticism. It can be painful for anyone.

I loved your book - seems like not everyone got the humor. The characters were so well drawn I felt like I knew them (particularly Bea)... Having recently been through two executorships of trusts (my brother and my mom), and the resulting drama, I wonder if you've ever been through this kind of thing. It resonates with my experience, for sure?
