Hi Taylor, I just want to say I am a huge fan of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and I am looking forward to Daisy Jones and the Six. These seem to be almost historical fiction books. Did you have to do a lot research to create these characters? And what brought you to write these stories?

Hi Adrienne,
I spend a few months researching the areas I'm interested in before I start writing. For Evelyn, it was film and Hollywood. For Daisy Jones and the Six, it was rock n' roll in LA in the 70s. I mostly start by thinking of what sort of atmosphere I want to spend the next year of my life in and then going from there. It means that I'm always fascinated by what I'm working on and hopefully that shows on the page.
