LouisHi Mr. Korman I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed Restart.
Also I may have sent you two messages on top of this saying the same thing on accident but this is it.
Where do you get your inspiration for your books?

Thanks for posting. I'm glad to hear that RESTART went over so well with you. I hope you'll go on to read many more of the books on my long list.
Your question: Most writers don't require what you call "inspiration," Louis. We write because we have something to say, a story to tell. That's just about all it take to start us scribbling!
Thanks again for your letter and your support for my work. -----Gordon Korman-----
