I seek a restrictive physical environment. I rely on the pressure of the herd. The local public library is great for that. They have a quiet room. They allow coffee in that room and snacks. I don't ask for the library's wifi password. I go into that room. It is light, quiet. A true, we-all-glare-at-anyone-who-answers-a-phone quiet. I am surrounded by people reading, writing, and studying. For the first few minutes, I am just mimicking the others. But eventually, I am doing the same. I am researching I am writing. It is both a private and public time. Sometimes, I hear the soft snore of someone sleeping. If the writer's block is really bad, I give myself permission to write anything, just write.

This was a fabulous book, I wasn't sure I wanted to read it but as I read the characters spoke to me. Certainly an unusual book and I mean that way in the best way possible, you certainly researched your material. I felt like I knew everyone. I look forward to your next book. Please keep writing. Who encourages you the most?

I just want to express my absolute awe. I finished The Enchanted Life Of Adam Hope this afternoon and am still immersed in the story. Your characters are so incredibly dimensional, the mystery is less important than the characters and how it plays out, and though I wondered throughout - and continue to wonder - I have no burning desire to know everything. Any projected release date for the next one?
