November is National Novel Writing Month (aka NaNoWriMo), when aspiring novelists attempt to bang out a manuscript in thirty days. In this exclusive Author Interviews @ Amazon, Erin Morgenstern tells senior editor Chris Schluep how her breakout, best-selling novel, The Night Circus, was born during a 2005 NaNoWriMo session, and honed during a subsequent November session.

>The Night Circus was an Amazon Best Books of the Month selection in September.
