Hello, Mr. Korman, I just have a question for you. Would you ever consider writing a story about children in foster care?

Thank you- Sydney

Hi, Sydney,

Thanks for posting.

Children in foster care. I never thought about it, but I don't see why not. My stuff is usually less serious than that subject suggests, but I would certainly write on that topic if I ever came up with a story that involved kids in that situation.

Dear Mr. Korman,

My name is Aryan, and I am one of your biggest fans. I actually wrote to you last year, and I wanted to write again because I just can't stop thinking about one of my favorite books you've written - Faker

I really loved the story, the twists, and the way the characters felt so real. It's one of those books I couldn't put down! I keep wondering what might happen next and how the characters' lives could continue. I think Faker has so much potential for a sequel, and I'd be really excited if you ever decided to write one.

Thank you for creating stories that make readers like me laugh, think, and imagine. Your books always inspire me, and I really appreciate the time and creativity you put into them.

Sincerely,

Aryan

Hi, Aryan,

Thanks for posting and for your support for my work, notably FAKER. I haven't planned a sequel, but it certainly would lend itself to one -- I agree. On the other hand, it would seem that the ending indicates that the family would be going "straight." It's something that might be hard to decide. But thanks for your thoughts on the subject.

I hope you'll watch for HYPERGIFTED, scheduled for January 2026.

Best regards, ----Gordon Korman-----
