Hi! First of all, I loved The Edge Of Normal and What Doesn't Kill Her. (The Edge Of Normal got me out of my reading slump this year, so I'm really grateful for that.) My questions are : Who are you favorite authors? and If you read as a child/teen, what is your favorite childhood book?

Carla Norton Alexis, thank you so much for writing! I always have trouble deciding on favorite authors, so I hope you don't mind if I give you a list of books. Since I read a lot of mysteries and thrillers, some of my favorites are pretty dark. At the risk of overlooking some great books, here's a start:
All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr
The Talented Mr. Ripley, by Patricia Highsmith
Gorky Park, by Martin Cruz Smith
Presumed Innocent, by Scott Turow
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, by Steig Larson
Silence of the Lambs, by Thomas Harris
Praying for Sleep, by Jeffery Deaver
Beloved, by Toni Morrison
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey
Liar's Club, by Mary Karr
When I was small, I loved the Trixie Belden mystery series. (But I think I would have loved The Hunger Games series, by Suzanne Collins, and The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak.)
Thanks again for writing. It's great to hear that I helped get you over your slump!
