Hi, Kirsten,

Thanks for posting. I’m pleased to hear that my SWINDLE series has made such a hit with you. I think the series is done after JINGLE, though. Sorry. I absolutely can “see” each character. Griffin is medium size and sandy-haired; Ben is small and dark; Darren is blonde and chunky; Savannah is fair and wears a ponytail; we know about Melissa peeking through her stringy mousy hair; and Pitch is a short-haired brunette, tall and strong. Got that? But of course, they can also look the way you picture them. Your choice. PLUS most authors don’t need inspiration; we write because we have something to say, a story to tell. That’s just about all it takes to start us scribbling. OK?

Thanks again, Kirsten.                                    —–Gordon Korman—–
