MilkyAndTwiz (or just Twiz) or probably Brendan Espinoza :P

HELLO!! I am the same person who wrote the “Hello, I am a fan and I’ve been dying to talk to you.” Thingy but uh, just a random question. So the books I did read were Restart, Unplugged, The Fort, WhatsHisFace, and then Linked. I’m really gunning for Snoop, Old School, and Schooled to be the next ones on my list of reading but I’m currently trying to read 7 other books at the same time so I decided to finish them first before I buy more books. But, I really do wanna know, if Chase Ambrose, Jett Baranov, Evan Donnelly, Cooper Vega, Lincoln Rowley, Carter (???), Dexter Foreman, and Capricorn Anderson ever interacted, how would it go??? You also have the choice to leave out Carter, Dexter, and Capricorn since I haven’t read those books yet. The reason why I’m asking is because, uh, they’re my favorite main characters from each book so I’m, yeah. Thank you!!

Hi again, Twiz,

I'm glad you have favorite characters, but please don't wait for them to interact, beause they won't. Each gets his/her own book, and never the 'twain shall meet. Sorry. ---GK---

Hi, GK!

"Hi Again" seemed like the right topic under which to post... Not sure if you remember me. I first wrote to you when I was in Grade 7, I think... Maybe 8? A hundred years ago, when I was writing a speech about my favourite author at the time, Gordon Korman. To my delight, you wrote back, and a penpalship of several years ensued. I must have written by hand; your letters arrived in my mailbox on neatly typed, small cream coloured paper. Sometimes light blue. I was always delighted. I still have those letters somewhere... where are they? In some box. Yikes. The trouble with getting old, haha (I'm 52 now).

I've been semi-retired from a successful and fulfilling teaching career for a few years now, and am living in PEI, where I was doing -- among other things -- the odd substitute teaching gig. This morning was my final day as a substitute teacher, and in a Grade 6 class I happened to be covering, what did my eyes behold? Five copies of "Go Jump in the Pool"!!! While the students were playing board games, I indulged and reread the first several chapters -- that $h!t is as funny now as it was the first time I read it 40 years ago, lol!

Thanks, friend, for making me laugh then (lord knows, 12-year-old me needed it!!!), and thank you for making me laugh now. I hope you are well. I see you are still writing.

Always a fan,

Vera :)

Wow! I do remember your name, Vera! I'm not sure about the long correspondence -- I wrote a lot of letters back then.

Yes, I'm still at it. The list will number 106 titles when SNOOP is released on July 1st. That sounds like a lot, even to me!

Happy retirement! Lovely to hear from you. -----Gordon Korman-----
