Ann Marie asked Chris Bohjalian:

Hi again! GR cut me before my question. Crissy, your character, is an Adderall addict it seems by description. I am a recovering addict, though not to Adderall, and wanted to know if you did research for it? A LOT of authors get it wrong because they are not addicts themselves. I'm just curious if you did research on it. I won't be offended if its 2 personal 2 answer. Next ? Any short story books in your future?

Chris Bohjalian Thanks, Ann Marie. I always do my homework. And I would not say Crissy is an addict. She's damaged, as are many of my main characters in my novels. But not an addict. As for short stories. . .you can read my latest one, Slot Machine Fever Dreams, via Kindle. Thanks!

I really enjoy not only your novels but your blog posts. You are an informed author who takes the necessary time to research and present supporting ideas. My question is this: Why do you not review on Goodreads the books you read? I would be most interested to hear your opinions. If you don't care to post your answer to the general public, I would welcome a note. Thank you!

Not a question--just a thank you. I've greatly enjoyed every book of yours that I've read, but The Guest Room was special. Oh, looks like I have to end with a question mark to post this, so . . . ?
