Hi, Susy,

Thanks for posting. I'm glad you enjoyed MASTERMINDS, and I'll be happy to answer your questions.

I assume that you read all 3 books in the series, and are asking for #4. I have no current plans for a 4th book, but I wouldn't rule it out either. So let's make that an indefinite "maybe," OK? As for Eli and Tori, you spotted it! I think Tori had a crush on Eli from the start, and he gradually came to appreciate her as well. They's definitely a couple, as are Malik and Amber.

OK? Thanks again for writing. -----Gordon Korman-----

Hey, Vanillagorilla, you may be the only person who didn't see it! They are definitely a couple at the beginning of what is going to be a long lifetime relationship.

hello mr. Korman,

I am a huge fan of your books! this question is not generally based towards Masterminds, but has your family (including your pets) influenced your writing?

Hi,Vanillagorilla,

(You can't imagine how carefully Im typing this! You seem to spot all my typos!)

Good question. As it happens, I have a Mom who's a writer and journalist. In the beginning when I was a 12-year-old author, she was there to tell me what was, and was not, in English. And my Dad is a CPA, which was a big help in guiding me through the business end of being a working writer. But what you're probably asking is if they influenced the topics I chose and the type of narrative I used back then, and even now. And the answer to that is no. That's all me.

Regards, -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi, Tori 2.0,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that MASTERMINDS made such a hit with you that you're anxious for more. I have no plans to write a 4th book in the series, but I definitely wouldn't rule one out. So I'll tell you what I tell all the readers who ask for MASTERMINDS #4 -- the best I can give you is an indefinite "maybe." Sorry.

But your letter pleased me MUCHO! -----Gordon Korman-----
