Hi, Mr. Korman! I am in 6th grade, and I love -no- LOVE your books. I have read Restart, Schooled, Whatshisface, Masterminds, and No More Dead Dogs. I am reading the Unteachables. (Mateo is so relatable) My dream is to become an author or screenplay writer. I have tons of ideas, but I can't find the time to make books. I was wondering if you would accept ideas. Also, I love realistic fiction, but it would be cool if you did more fantasy because I am an escapist.

Hi, Logan,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to note that you've been reading and enjoying a lot of my books. I should point out, though, that June 28th will be the release of THE FORT, which is my Book #100. And there is a lot of mystery, and even some sci-fi in that long list. For mystery there's the HYPNOTISTS and MASTERMINDS trilogies, also NOTORIOUS, UNPLUGGED, and LINKED. As for sci-fi, I recommend NOSEPICKERS FROM OUTER SPACE if you can find them (4), also THE HYPNOTISTS,(3) which describes hypnosis in a totally different way, and my very newest, OPERATION DO-OVER, which is a kind of time-travel tale.

Hey, when you write 100 of them, there's going to be all kinds, right?

Good luck with your ambitions, Logan. I hope to be writing you a fan letter one of these days!

Dear Mr. Korman,

I was at Helen Tyson Middle School when you were there at the authors meet and greet. I read Unplugged and think your next book could be called Replugged. It could be like where he mentors a kid that was like him before he learned lots of things. I have the books Super Gifted and What's His Face and can not wait to read them. Thanks for being a great writer! l

Sincerely,

Hudson B.

Hi, Hudson,

Thanks for posting. Your REPLUGGED idea is a great one. I haven't planned a sequel. Plus I wonder if someone like Jett will ever reform enough to mentor someone else. You could be onto something here!

I hope SUPERGIFTED and WHATSHISFACE also make a hit with you.
