    I just finished reading the Hypnotists series, and I loved it! But I feel like three books is not a lot, especially since I'm a pretty fast reader. I think that you should write at least one more. The characters are super cool and I want to keep going with their hypnotic adventure!

    Ps: You're one of my favorite authors!

    Hi, Milina,


    Great to hear that THE HYPNOTISTS went over so well with you. I hadn't planned for a 4th book, but I wouldn't rule one out either. So you'll probably have to accept an indefinite maybe. Sorry, but thats the best I can promise at the moment.


    Thanks for posting.                                                                                -----Gordon Korman-----

    Hi, again. Not to be pushy, but I was thinking about a fourth book idea, (IF there will be one,) and I thought that maybe it could be about how Dr. Mako slowly starts remembering his life before Jax and Stanley X took his memory away, and at one point, he remembers everything and plans another evil scheme even bigger than "Worldwide Operation Aurora." Does that sound interesting? Again, I don't want to be annoying about this. Do what makes you happy.🙂

    Hi, Mr. Korman!


    I'm writing a book, too, and I was wondering if you have any advice for me. You are an awesome author and I love reading your books. It would be really cool if I could get help from you.

    Hi, Milina,


    Welcome to the world of authoring! I can give you the advice that worked for me:


    PLANNING is everything. You can't write anything meaningful unless you know exactly what you're trying to say. And that takes planning. I mean that you have to know your story and its aims from beginning to end before you put down a single word of it. When you know your plan, you are always writing TOWARDS it. The big thing, then, is timing your story so that the points come out in a timely fashion. That is what takes talent. You can learn to do it, but it would be better if you were born knowing how.


    Good luck. I promise to write you a fan letter!                                           -----Gordon Korman-----

    Hi! I was just wondering, do you have any tips on adding twists to your story? Like the exciting and mysterious ones in The Hypnotists series?


     


                     Thanks in advance,

    Hi again, Milina,


    Your question: special twists have to be there as part of the story or they'll come out feeling like they don't belong. That's all part of the planning. There's no trick to it. It has to be there from the start.                                           --GK--
