I had coffee with John Kennedy Jr.

in Paris.

I'm a lifelong devotee of JFK Jr.

and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, who've suddenly been back in the zeitgeist, as you and I know, this year with

their real life tragic love story being documented in the series Love Story.

So you've got to tell me everything there.

I imagine your friend was going, what?

Did you exchange first names?

Oh, no, his name was John.

Sorry, I probably left out the most important.

No, no.

I mean, I personally think, Fran, you could probably say 100% sure.

But he didn't say, I'm John Kennedy.

I wanted to ask you about another really interesting aspect of your story is the late bloomer component.

You had your first baby at 40, your second at 45.

You wrote your first novel at 46 and now your third novel, The Nocturnals, at 61.

Fran, I love this idea that I think would resonate with a lot of people, all of those firsts at those age.

Was there a point along the line where you thought, oh, I'm running behind?

Did you have a schedule?

And if so, did you think you were running behind the schedule?
