This time, I wanted to go back to love and mystery. I've done everlasting love in Every Breath. I've done epic love like The Longest Ride or Love and Danger, like The Guardian and Safe Haven. The last time I did that I think was in a novel called A Bend in the Road. I wanted to do a story with a theme of love and mystery. Nicholas: The initial thought for the novel - you have to have an initial thought. Zibby: Can you tell listeners who aren't familiar yet with The Return, what inspired you to write this book? What was really the main premise of it for you? Thank you for all the content that you've put out into world. I've been reading it every night as my kids are going to bed. Thanks for coming on 'Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books.' This is such an honor to talk to you.

How neat to have a library all of your own writing. Every book you see is actually mine, not that I can read them because they're in foreign languages. Of course, I have, I don't know how many, twenty-plus or whatever, and theyвЂ™ve all been translated a lot of times. Nicholas: All the books that you see here are actually my books, but they're my books in all sorts of different languages. I like how you have the little cages in case they're going to run away and escape.
