Dear Mr. Korman

I just finished Restart. It is one of my favorite books of all time. I am stunned by how you are able to write so many good books? I read a ton of your books; and I love all of them.

Here are some questions:

How do you think of such good ideas?

What makes your clock tick?

I hope you have good luck writing all your other books.

Best wishes Daniel
