I absolutely loved your book--it was so unique and creative. It's really refreshing to read something that different. I had a question about how you determined the disciplines that each of the children studied at the Library. Why was there no discipline for literature, or for history? What made you choose the areas of study that you did--was there anything in particular that influenced your choices?

Hey! This was more just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed The Library at Mount Char and how it was one of the most unique novels I've ever read! Who was your favourite character to write? I loved Carolyn, but I think overall I loved how you wrote David the most.

Okay so I need to ask - where the heck did LAMC come from? You've written programming manuals, more programming manuals, and then BOOM an amazing, unique, well-done, riveting novel, seemingly from nowhere. Where did the inspiration come from? Did you write other fiction before but it was just never published?

Some really excellent world-building in The Library at Mount Char. It felt like a mix of different mythologies converging together, sort of a re-alignment of all our theories and beliefs and legends. What gave you the idea for the library, and for the scale of its studies?
