Hi, Anthony, (with a shout-out to Fizzy!)

Thanks for posting. You're sending me back to a book that I wrote in 2021. That was, believe it or not, 7 published books ago, not counting the 3 that are presently in the publishing process, and the 1 that I'm now halfway through.

The Fort, my #100. This is what I remember, no guarantees.

RICKY short and slight with huge eyes that aways make him look serious. With a name like Molina, he's probably dark-haired and brown-eyed.

EVAN - I can't recall, but he's probably blond-ish with hazel eyes and a strong build.

C.J.small and wiry with dark hair and blue eyes. Always looks beaten up and/or injured in some way.

MITCHELL - blond, blue-eyed, a little on the plump side.

JASON - tall, athletic, with windblown brown hair. A big guy.

brother LUKE - like Evan, his brother, fair, hazel-eyed

friend JAEGER - sly and oily, probably slim but powerful, a dangerous look about him.

And you could probably have squeezed that out of the first chapter! That's where I had to go for it.

But thanks a whole lot for your interest! -----Gordon Korman-----
