They say it takes a thief to catch a thief. (Or was that just Cary Grant?) I don’t know that it takes an author to interview an author, but some of the best interview questions I’ve ever had came from M.J. Rose, author of The Witch of Painted Sorrows, who interviewed me recently for Bookmovement.

We talk about World War I, social change, character construction, 1920s parties, and why so many lawyers seem to wind up becoming writers.

You can find the interview— as well as a chance to win a copy of The Other Daughter— here.
