Hi, Nora,

Thanks for posting. I’m pleased that you enjoy my books, and that RESTART made such a hit with you. I hope you’re enjoying SCHOOLED, which has become almost as popular.

Your questions:

1. Good question. I’m pretty sure that every writer’s background has an influence on his/her writing style. We write about different characters, but the speaker is always ourselves no matter how hard we try to be someone else. We’re always in there somewhere.

2. I find that multiple narrators create multiple viewpoints, and round out a story better than any other technique. I don’t use it for all my work, and I do use it a lot because it “does the job” for me. I hope that makes sense!

OK? Thanks again. I hope your project goes well.
