Sangam

Good Morning,

I am writing to you from Chennai, India. My daughter Sangam is a mega fan of your books and has read almost all of them. she now insists that I should read them, and I have. They are kind of fun. I think your books are able to show her that middle school is not always a straight line. Her favorite activity is trying to find small connections between your books - the slugs in restart and your book slugfest.

We are in the US- specifically in New York from 12-15th of June. I was wondering if you had any author visits at bookstores or signings anywhere at all that were public?(I notice that the one on the 12th is at a school) Do let us know - I know meeting you would aboslutely light her up! Thank you!

Hi,

Thanks for posting. It's great to know that I have such a loyal fan in India.

The speaking engagement you refer to is at a school in the borough of Queens, and not open to the public. Aside from that date, I'm afraid there is nothing booked for that time. In addition, I will be going out of town right after the 12th. So I'm afraid a meeting between Sangam and me won't take place, at least on this visit to the U.S.

Please tell her how much I appreciate her support for my work.

Kindest regards, -----Gordon Korman-----

Thank you for your kind words. Sangam was so excited to read them. We will continue to follow your schedule and see if any opportunities arise while we are in the US. Have a good weekend!
