Hi,Andon Russell,

Thanks for posting. I’m pleased that my books have been going over well with you, especially THE FORT which was my Book #100! I hope you’ll want to read your way right through my long list — 107 titles with the recent release of HYPERGIFTED.

Your questions: What I do doesn’t really require what you call “inspiration.” Most authors write because we have something to say, a story to tell. That’s all it takes to start us scribbling. I was 12 when I wrote my first book as a 7th grade English project, and 14 by the time it was actually published. On average, my books take me between 6 to 9 months to complete.

OK? Thanks again for your praise and support!                                          —–Gordon Korman—–
