Author Talk: Nicholas Sparks, author of The Guardian

Apr 1, 2003

Question: Why did you combine a love story with a dark character in a thriller?

Nicholas Sparks: I wanted to create a character who added an element of danger to the novel, and Richard was the result. I did that because I wanted to write the type of novel that I hadn't written before, and because I think it's important for my readers that they don't read the same book over and over.

Q: How did you come to create such an obsessive, evil character?

The wind is howling as I write this letter. You can tell it's March in the Northeast. Yowser, I really am longing for spring! Will try to warm things up with some book talk.

I live in a world where everyone talks about books. I have breakfasts about books, lunches about books and endless e-mails and phone calls about books. By the time a week ends I have a stack of books that I am salivating to read, a stack that I have read at least 50 pages of and plan to finish, a smaller stack of what I have read and finished and need to get onto my bookshelves and at least 1-2 books that I have hurled against the wall and pledged never to tell you about since they were such disappointments.
