What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Where Are We Tomorrow? If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Where Are We Tomorrow, what would they be? If you had to write a blurb for the last book you read, what would it say? A family drama that subtly draws you in, We Are the Brennans will keep you rooting for them to the end. Sunday, Denny, Kale, and the rest of this Irish Catholic crew made me long for a large family, dysfunction and all. Lange’s clean prose carries the reader easily along to a satisfying (if somewhat predictable) finish. I didn’t want to let this book go. What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write? I mostly read and write literary fiction myself, but as my young daughter grows, I read with her. I feel lucky to have found amazing children’s books that I would have missed otherwise. Currently, we are reading a lot of middle-grade novels. We have also written a middle-grade fantasy together, so that was a fun project. I’m working on a revision of that story now. Do you have any quirky writing habits? Well, I suppose this is a little strange. As I sit down to write in the morning, the first thing I have to do is download my bank statement. I like to balance the checkbook before I write. Yeah, I guess that’s kind of weird. Where did you write Where Are We Tomorrow? I worked on this book for ten years, so it’s been worked on everywhere: couch, tour bus, hotel room, lawn chair, hammock, coffee shop, and sure, bars too. What’s the best advice you’ve ever received? From my mentor, A.J. Verdelle: “Clarity is non-negotiable.”
