Hi, James,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that RESTART made a hit with you. I'm happy to report that a lot of people agree with you -- RESTART has been on the New York Times Bestseller List for over 5 years now!

The book that just came out last month, HYPERGIFTED, marks my 107th publication! That sounds likea lot, even to me!

What was on my mind? ALL business, which is what writing is for me. I was sticking with the plot and characters that I created in the planning stages of the book.

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