I enrolled in writing classes but concentrated mainly on short stories. I worked as a freelance translator after my daughter was born and when my dream of literary translations didn’t pan out, I decided to tell my own stories. I’m always interested in what strikes an author when she sets pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard), what was it about Estelle’s story that captivated you, propelling your novel?Īlexandra Burt: I’m delighted to be here and thank you so much for reading REMEMBER MIA.Įstelle’s story stewed in my head for many years before I actually put words on paper. Leslie Lindsay: Thanks for being with us today, Alexandra! I so loved REMEMBER MIA. Pull up your favorite beverage and settle in. At once hopeful and harrowing, this is a story that will have you reading well past your bedtime. I plowed through REMEMBER MIA, astounded with the gripping story, the horrendous acts and thoughts that filtered through the mother’s head, and knew I had to contact Alexandra Burt for an interview.
