Would you briefly summarize the plot of Morning Glory, your latest release? I will forever treasure that time on Seattle’s Lake Union writing this book. I got to soak up little details that I would have never known had I not experienced them - like how a houseboat sways ever so gently on a windy day or how a pair of Mallard ducks waddle up the doorstep on Saturday morning and gaze into the French doors. Renting a houseboat for four months while writing this was the single greatest thing I could have done to put me in the right headspace to capture the essence of the floating home community. With this in mind, could you tell us about how you prepared to write the novel Morning Glory, which is set on a houseboat in Seattle? I tend to think of you as a method writer, one who inhabits a world before she writes about it. For example, if a method actor is hired to portray a boxer, he or she will take boxing lessons and box with professionals. They like to put themselves inside the skin of the characters they play. There are actors who are called method actors. This is an interview with the bestselling Seattle-based author Sarah Jio, whose new novel Morning Glory will be released on November 26.
