Mo asked Susan Elizabeth Phillips:

I just finished Dream a Little Dream (for the 4th time) which was such a sad book... well, it all worked out fine in the end. Now I am re-reading First Lady. How do you go from writing a sad book to writing such a crazy, funny book? I am LMAO here with the things Lucy is saying ... and Nealy. I don't really care about meeting authors but I think you would be "gas crack" (Irish expression - means "good fun") to meet!

Susan Elizabeth Phillips All of my books have humor, but some definitely have a few more teary scenes than others. I let the characters and their situations dictate that tone and don’t really think about the transition between books. Not a great answer, but the only way I an really articulate it. And thanks for the compliment! :-)
