In an exclusive interview with Authorlink, Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants and At the Water’s Edge, talks about research in fiction, story arcs, and the sheer love of writing:
I find inspiration everywhere. Some of the snippets of conversation, you have no idea what it’s about, but you know that the people’s hearts are breaking and it’s poignant and it’s a real moment in their lives. And I’m always dying to know what happened and what led up to it but I can only do that in my imagination.
