Callie Abbott-Kilpatrick asked Jeremy Bates:

Not a question, but a compliment... when I read your books, I get so immersed that I actually become sad when the story is over. So... I IMMEDIDATELY start another book. You keep me wanting more, & I thank you. Your art is MUCH appreciated. Thank you. Btw, besides King & the like, WHAT are some of your influences for your wonderful stories?

Jeremy Bates Hey Callie,

So sorry for the crazy late reply ! lol I don't get on GRs much, and when I do, I don't know all the ins and outs and didn't even see all these pending questions until now. Anyway, thanks so much for reading the books :) Besides King etc, my influences are totally random. What I mean is, whatever the latest book I'm reading usually influences me in some way. A good example was a Denis Lehane novel. I'd never read him before but I got into his writing and it influence a little how I was writing the book at that time................

First - absolutely thrilled I discovered you, I love all your work. Second, I grew up with Siberian Russians, and we used to grill their parents who were alive during the time of the incident, debating theories. You took one of my favorite all time enduring mysteries and touched on multiple of the beliefs my Siberian friends had! Do you have any Russian friends, or are you just fond of their culture? Ever been?

A Goodreads user asked Jeremy Bates:

okay I did come back to check and see if shelfari sent over the rest of my books. I have 2066 books on my shelf there and the first time they "sent" them over, they only sent 99! not quite all of them? They got rid of shelfari because amazon no longer supports it. So it's still there but you can't do a whole lot with it most days. I was able to add a couple more books today but it's really all goobered up!
