I have many novels that I never had the chance to finish. Some of the include In Cold Blood , which I was writing with my best friend Trueman Capote. Trueman and I have been best friends since I was a very little girl and I am very sad we were never able to finish it with him.

Go Set A Watchman is my second most famous book. It follows some of the characters from To Kill A Mockingbird, specifically Scout as a 26 year old. It was rejected by my publisher, because it was my first draft. They told me to make Scout younger. So I rewrote the book and had To Kill a Mockingbird. I still loved my original draft so I polished it up and released Go Set A Watchman.

To Kill A Mockingbird is my most famous novel. I spent many years writing it, revising it, and finalizing it for publication.
