Hi, Shriyan,

Thanks for posting. I’m glad you enjoyed RESTART. I think the book was so successful because most people were rooting for Chase. I tried to portray him as a basically decent kid who needed to be straightened out. And I think the success was due to the basic comedy relief in a serious story, and the fact that my readers really do beieve in second chances.

AND … if I really knew the secret of success in a book, I’d become the most successful writer in the world! I believe the secret of a successful book is a great audience. So thanks for being part of it.
