Richard Milter asked A.G. Riddle:

I found you by doing a search for books about the hunt for a real Atlantis, after viewing a special on Nova. Some of my favorite parts are the historical facts. Can you recommend any non fiction that you used in your research into human origins ? It is so fascinating to me that 40,000 years ago humans shared the planet with at least 4 other species of humans. I will continue to read and recommend your books. Thanks!

A.G. Riddle Thanks so much for reading and spreading the word!

I would recommend:

The Journey of Man (Spencer Wells); there is also a documentary of the same name.

The 10,000 Year Explosion: How Civilization Accelerated Human Evolution (Gregory Cochran, Henry Harpending)

Sapiens (Yuval Noah Harari)

Patrick asked A.G. Riddle:

Hello Mr Riddle, I'm just switching from the first to second books in the Origin series, and I'm perplexed about the use of the name Atlantis and the site claimed to be Atlantis in the book not being where Atlantis (ruins) is 30km NE of Ouadane. Was that part of the plan for the story or a unintended misuse of the name? Don't get me wrong, I loved the first book and have the Long Winter lined up after Origin.

Shelly asked A.G. Riddle:

I just started your trilogy and can't put it down, so I was telling a friend about your books and came here to get the website so she could read up on it. Then I began reading about you and it said your from Boiling Springs NC. Is that Boiling Springs Or Boiling Spring Lakes? (I live in BSL, that's why I ask). Anyway, when's the movies coming out?!

Aisling asked A.G. Riddle:

This is fantastic- I only JUST picked up your book "The Atlantis Gene" yesterday when I was looking for something to read on my kindle. . . I'm new to goodreads, I joined only today, and I see there's a Q&A with the author. Either way, I mostly wanted to just talk about this coincidence- but I do have one question, a question I have for most successful authors. How do you plan out your books? What's the secret?
