Hi Mr. Korman I like reading all your books and I have a lots of questions.

Who is your favorite character in the Everest series? How did Dominic feel about Tilt dying? Does the Dominic in Operation-Do Over know about the Dominic in the Everest series? How old is Rudy and Mike in I want to go home? Can you confirm if the sheepdog is still alive when Mason goes to college?

If you could answer them thanks!

Hi,Samier,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hearthat you're such a loual fan of my work. I'll try to answer all your qustions.

My favorite character in EVEREST is Dominic, but I also really like Cap Cicero, who held the team together. I'm sure Dominic felt sad about Tilt dying, but he also had to face the fact of Tilt's disloyalty to the team in general and Dominic in particular. So his feelings would have been mixed. Both the Dominic in Do-Over and the Everest Dominic are fictional -- you know that, right? I made them up, so there's no way they would "know" about each other. Rudy and Mike would be about 11 or 12. And I have no idea if the sheepdog is alive when Mason goes off to college, but my guess is yes, he's an old dog, but still around.

OK? I hope that's helpful. Thanks again, Samier. -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi! Huge fan, was wondering if you could consider making a sequel to the book Restart. While the book wrapped up nicely, a sequel would be greatly appreciated here are a few ideas ,

1: Shoshana loses her memory

2- Chase has to convince another skeptical judge that he’s innocent

3 and finally, he is a dad and his son loses his memory

Thank you for your time-RC

(ps, what is your favorite book you’ve ever written, if so, why?!)

Hi, RC,

Thanks for posting. So many people have written to ask for a sequel to RESTART, and all I can do is tell them I'll think about it. And I will, but I can't guarantee anything, including the fact that I don't know if the publisher will even want a sequel.

Your suggestions are creative, but they won't work. 1. It's too coincidental that Shoshana or anyone else from the first book also suffers memory loss. 2. No skeptical judges. He was acquitted, and is therefore protected by Double Jeopardy. And 3. Too coincidental that Chase should have a son who is also an amnesiac.

Sorry. But I AM thinking about it. How about an indefinite maybe?

Thanks again, -----Gordon Korman-----
