Dear Gordon Korman,

I am DJ Ford, and I read no more dead dogs in school a few days ago, and I LOVED IT! I have one question though. Where did you get all the inspiration from?

Sincerely, DJ

Hi, DJ,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that my older novel, NO MORE DEAD DOGS made such a big hit with you. I don't know if you realize this, but I have over 100 books in print, most of them in the same comedy-adventure style. So I hope you'll plan to read many more of my books.

Your question: What you call "inspiration" is, for me, a lot of hard work, thinking and plotting. No big mystery. It's just work in my chosen profession -- writing books! I'm glad one of them went over so well with you. Thanks again for taking the time to write and tell me so.

Best wishes, -----Gordon Korman-----
