Here's where things stand: Leonard DiCaprio holds the option to turn the book into a film. Recently he recruited Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Billy Ray to join him. A dream team for sure. Whether a movie ultimately gets made is entirely up to them, and to the cinematic fates.

Erik Larson:
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!

Erik Larson:
I've read Devil, Beasts and Isaac's and really enjoyed and recommend all the time. I forgot about Thunderstruck and will add to list along with Lusitania. How do you come up with your topics? They seem pretty diverse. Do you stumble across a news item or other writing and decide to dig in further? A history buff? And how long is your current list of books to write? Keep them coming, please.
