Hey!

I really enjoy your books, but I wonder how you choose to make specific books a series. Do you decide that the book will be in a series before you start writing it, or do you just decide to turn it into one since you have so many ideas? (Series like the Ungifted Series)

 

Also, the Swindle series is one of my favourites, since it was the first series I ever read from you. Will it be getting any more books? :D

Thanks for being such a good writer!

Hi, Snowy,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that you're a fan of my work.

Your questions: Both. SWINDLE was a series from the start. UNGIFTED was a standalone book that seemed to require a sequel, SUPERGIFTED. And my next release, in Feb., will be HYPERGIFTED, the third in what turned out to be a series. So you described it perfectly!

I think the SWINDLE series is done, unless I get a superduper idea, that is. It ended a few years ago.

OK? Thanks again for your friendly letter. I hope to continue writing material that will please and amuse you.

Hi, Audrey,

Doodle Baseball? I know it's a backyard BBQ game, and I'm anxious to hear more. Cards, right?           ---Gordon Korman---

I'm pretty sure she's talking about the online game. But I'm not sure.
