Amanda Inkenbrandt asked Deb Caletti:

Stay is such an amazing novel and beautifully captured the nuances of an abusive relationship. I felt like if I'd had that novel as a teenager, I might have recognized the warning signs in my first relationship much sooner. Was this book based on personal experience? If so, was it difficult for you to write?

Deb Caletti Hi Amanda -

I have had some experience with an abusive relationship, though the book isn't based on actual events. Those kinds of things ARE hard to write, but I do believe that honesty is the most powerful thing you can bring to writing.

Thanks for asking, and thanks for your kind words!

I just finished "He's Gone" and I loved it. My favorite thing about the story, which was fantastic, is the pacing of your writing. You wrote in a way that made things move faster and sometimes more laconic. I'm so impressed. Thank you! (not really a question?)
