What was your inspiration to write such an amazing book? How did you come up with the idea of the whole pay it forward thing?

Hi Laura. I uploaded a video to GoodReads of me telling this story, as it's too long to type out here. But maybe worth the 5-6 minutes if you're curious? Here's the link: https://www.goodreads.com/videos/7805...

I am reading Have You Seen Luis Velez and can just picture some of the characters. Please tell me this will be a movie! I just can't put it down! We really need Raymond and Mrs. G in our lives and the people he meets along the way are so colorful! Pay it Forward was great (book and movie) and I think Luis Velez would be a great lesson as well as being thoroughly entertaining! So are there any plans to film this story?

I love all your books, and have read about a dozen since I first read Worthy in January. Currently reading Say Goodbye for Now. It is a wonderful book that is tearing my heart in two. Just about 30% left to go, I hope it has a happy ending. You are a gifted and talented writer. Thanks! So here is a question, what is your new book coming out in May about?
