What excellent company!

Interesting question. As it happens, I wrote the novel pretty much front to back. (True for all the books of the trilogy.) I don't always do things that way, but it's what the story asked me to do.

Thanks Anthony! Literary AF since 1962.

justin cronin I just started the epilogue for The Ferryman. This book really hit me deep. How do you do it?

Thank you, Josh. The only answer I can give you is that I try to write as honestly as I can about the things that are most on my mind.
