Can you describe the event at the beginning of the novel?
How did you come up with it?
How did you create the residents of Sylvan Street?
Did their backgrounds evolve as you wrote? Or did you have specific elements in mind before you began?
Money is obviously a major character.
What does it do to the residents of Sylvan Street?
Infidelity and infertility are two major themes on the book.
How did these issues effect the characters?
How did it change them?
Where the money came from is another important plot element.
Can you talk about the two characters on that side of the spectrum and the proiblems they face?
What would you do if you found one million dollars?
