Hi Mr. Korman,

I have a few questions. One of my questions is - how old were you when you wrote your first book? My next question is how do you find inspiration for your books or does the story just pop into your head?

I just love Framed. I saw the book and right then I sat down and read it. I loved it. I didn’t even know that it was just one book in a whole series, so when I found out I was really excited about it. I took a 2 day long break and it just didn’t feel right so I read a book (not yours) and it still didn’t feel right, then I went back to reading Framed and it felt amazing.

Sincerely, Isaac L

ps- if you have time, want to check my books out? https://1booksgalore1.wixsite.com/booksgalore

Hi, Isaac,

I was 12 when I wrote my first book, which was THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING AT MACDONALD HALL. That was 101 books ago, which became 101 with the release of THE SUPERTEACHER PROJECT. And it will become 102 in June when MIXED UP comes out. Even I have trouble believing the numbers!

I'm delighted to hear that FRAMED made such a big hit with you. I have no idea where my story ideas come from. A lot of thinking and plotting, I guess. I never question such things, because I wouldn't want the ideas to stop coming!

And I will check out your books one of these days. I'm just not comfortable right now with registering all my info, but I'm sure I'll get there.

Thanks a lot for posting and for your support for my work.

Regards, -----Gordon Korman-----

Thank you so much for writing back to me! I just finished Framed, it was the best mystery I’ve every read, even better it had so many cliffhangers. You can read all of my books for free on my blog! https://1booksgalore1.wixsite.com/books

Hi, Isaac,

I just paid a short visit to your site, and promise to return when I have some time to do some reading -- which seems to be 50 years down the road between 2 and 4 AM, by the way! But will likelt be sooner than that. Very nice site, a little hard for someone like me to navigate, but very nice. ---GK---
