Hello Mr. Korman! So, I happen to be a huge fan of yours and a young aspiring author, and am inspired by the fact that you were able to get a book published as a high school student. I have some questions about the craft of writing itself, and with over 100 books, and many critically acclaimed titles, I am sure that you can help. Firstly: How are you able to create compelling and believable teenage characters who grow so much? Secondly, I am working on a mystery, and I want to know: How are you able to introduce clues and make them all tie together at the climax or big reveal?

One last note: Why did The Fort end the way it did? I realize that not all stories can have happy endings, but still, WHY.

A well-wisher. Excited for Book 200! You’ve already done amazing work, can’t wait to see what\’s next
