Goodreads asked Kristina McMorris:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Kristina McMorris Ever since watching the movie "Escape from Alcatraz" as a young girl, I've been intrigued by the prison. But I'd never planned to use the setting for a novel until I stumbled upon a documentary titled "Children of Alcatraz," featuring people who had grown up on The Rock as kids of the prison staff. One boy even claimed to have secretly played checkers with Robert Stroud, most commonly known as "The Birdman of Alcatraz." The thought of such interactions fascinated me, and I immediately knew I had a story to tell!

Lee asked Kristina McMorris:

I'll start by saying I loved Letters from Home, I am currently reading Every time we say Goodbye. Just curious why are there two titles for the same book? (Bridge of Scarlet Leaves)

Idizz asked Kristina McMorris:

Hello I got your book "Everytime We Say Goodbye" but the book seem to be Part ONE as it states and ends in the middle of the story. Where can I get Part TWO?

Christopher

Christopher asked Kristina McMorris:

?No question here...just a sincere and heartfelt "Thank you," for coming up with such a wonderful story. My father, if he was still alive, would have loved this story. His mother's maiden name was Capello, he loved the ethnicity factor and the history of the 20s and 30s, and he was a professor of criminology and studied the mafia and gangsters. I have so much more to say but am being cut off by Goodreads. Thanks again
