Hi, Sophia,

Thanks for posting. I’m glad to hear that RESTART made such a strong impression on you.

Your questions: 1. It took about 7 months before I had the first draft of RESTART. Then there was some rewriting, a few changes, and it wound up taking 10 months in all.   2. You said you had trouble putting the book down, and you wanted to continue reading. That’s as entertaining as I intended it to be. Brendan supplied the entertainment, and the rest was pretty serious stuff.   3. The Weber family is OK with Chase by the end of the book, because Chase is really and truly a changed person. Plus I think Shoshanna might be even a little more than OK with Chase!

OK? Thanks again for your message. I hope you’ll go on to read many more of my books.
