I never kiss and tell. (But, frankly, I'm not working on anything. I'm looking!)

"Isaac's Storm" captivated me. I go to Galveston often. I still get a heartbroken feeling every time I pass by Walmart & think of the orphans & nuns. I swam from the seawall at low tide, full moon & out at least a hundred yards & could still find a sandbar to stand on. Isn't that what Isaac said would make it invulnerable to hurricanes? "In the Garden of the Beasts" was great! They would both make excellent films.

Erik Larson:
I am as fascinated & intimidated from a writing POV as I am with the final product of your instinct, craft & dedication-both unique. My question is from reading you & answers you've given here about your research & writing. Does your brevity, obligation to accuracy, interest in telling those personal stories, as well as your overall discipline have a hook back into your journalistic past? Julie Shankle

I was privileged to attend one of your tour dates for "Devil in the White City" (a personal favorite) and found you eloquent, engaging and pretty darn funny. My question is: Do you enjoy speaking publicly and the physical interaction with fans? Not all writers are great speakers and much preparation goes into speaking to, as well as entertaining, a live audience. P.S. You rock!
