Yes!!

nice!! loved this book. looking forward for him publishing more thrillers as such.

who is playing the role of christine in the movie? I cannot wait until the movie comes out. Please make it close to the book as possible. I had this book in my hand all nite reading. way to go!

I loved that book and looking forward to his next book. It was a page turner and hard to put down.

I read the book in two nights; I cursed the fact that I had to sleep and get up to work. Enthralling is an understatement!

Definitely will not miss. It was a very entertaining book and I am expecting for the next from him very eagerly.

Really creepy! Loved the book.

Sounds like there'll be quite a group here. I'll certainly try and make it! Very good book, one of my best of last year!

Can't wait!! Amazing Book!

Great 1st novel! But I'm wondering about her miraculous recovery of full memory...is it really medically possible? I KNEW something was off about "Ben" right from get go! Wonderful plotting and story,Sir.

I will buy any other book this man will write... I can't wait until he writes more.

This, Shutter Island and 11/22/63 were my favorites of 2011 (with 1Q84 squeezing in)

q what time is that EST? I'm in Australia

Will this be at 7pm and not 2pm as stated?

It's 2 PM eastern, 11 western, and I'm not sure about Australia, sorry

Jill, it depends where you are.

q are you working on another book? if so what's it about?

What inspired you to writer mystery/thriller books?

We're about to start! If you've got a question for SJ Watson, please feel free to ask it now.

We should be live now if you hit play on your player.

q How did you think of this story?

q How long did it take you to write Before I Go To Sleep?

? how did you come up with the title

Did you base it on the movies Memento and 50 First Dates? It was similar to both but so exciting. Loved it.

Jill, start the comment with a q to highlight it

q what other thrillers would you recommend?

q how did you come up with the title?

What was your reaction to knowing that your book is going to be a movie?

q what's your favorite author and book?

q are you working on another book? if so what's it about?

Q: It seemed that Clair took a long time to notify anyone that Christine missed the meeting with her, and that the Ben, who claims to be Christine's husband, really isn't. Why did Clair delay?

Q Why did you choose to have a sort of "happy" ending?

Q at the end of the book is her memory actually coming back?

Q: Why did Christine delay leaving the hotel room, once she realized that Ben isn't who he's told her he was?

Q - Did you know how the story would end when you started it or did the story "tell itself" as you wrote?

q what do you view as the ending? christine gaining her memory or not?

Q: how much of the book had you planned prior to starting to write & then consequently, how much of it took on its own life as you wrote it?

q Congratulations on your success and the movie adaptation! What's your next project?

Q Congratulations! Great piece of work!

q are you working on another book? if so what's it about?

q what do the initials S.J. stand for?

q A question unrelated to the book itself but, What has the author read lately, does he recommend any books?

according to wikipedia it's Steve

don't know what the J is

q why did you want to write about this subject

q what is your new book about? what genre is it in?

As a writer and consequently as a reader, what do you feel it's better, to read a book or to watch a movie? I always get disapointed with the movies ;)

A Your name (S.J.) and the book's promotional website don't identify you as a man (although obviously you are). Was it difficult to write this novel as a man, since so much of it takes place in a woman's head?

q when do you plan on having your new novel released, or when you plan on finishing it
