Bill Quatier asked John Grisham:

When you have characters that span multiple books - sometimes written many years apart - how do you keep track of all of the details in their lives and world? Is it all in your head? Do you have one of those "Stalker Walls" we see on crime procedurals with stuff written everywhere and yarn between scraps of paper? Or have you logged everything in a software package?
