This isn't really a question, but I loved loved loved your book! A good friend of mine read it and told me I had to read it. She was so right. I know you just finished this one, but is there another book in the works, I so hope? Vicki

Having a debut book come out has been distracting for my writing, but I hope to finish a few ideas I've been working on in coming months. Then it's up to agent and publisher! Happy day to you:)(less)

Your novel Where the Forest Meets the Stars is absolutely stunning. What inspired you to write the story? Was there a particular character you felt you related to? I felt like the message in the book was about trying to live your life as fully and immersed as possible despite the fact you could get hurt and facing the vulnerability that loving entails, was this deliberate? Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed my book! Many people and situations inspired the characters and plot. The main idea came to me after I watched a movie called 'Pan's Labyrinth.' In that story, a little girl gets immersed in a strange fantasy while she's going through a harrowing situation. I loved the idea of fantasy helping a child deal with trauma. I decided to set the story in my familiar world of bird biology. (I used to work as an avian biologist.)

The messages you found in the book are right on! And yes, I did want to write a book that helped readers feel hopeful about cancer, depression, family dysfunction, and childhood trauma. I've experienced those things myself or gone through them with friends or family.

Thanks again for writing! I wish you happy reading!

Cheers,
Glendy(less)

Glendy Vanderah answered Lisa Tucker's question:
I loved your book! And I think this would be a great movie! Would love to read a sequel and find out more about what happens to all these characters. Any thoughts about writing a sequel?
Thank you, Lisa! I wrote the book as a stand-alone, but I've had a few ideas for a sequel. I'm not working on that, but maybe someday I'll write that book. Margaret Atwood released a sequel to The Handmaid's Tale more than three decades later!

“People think they have to say something, and it never makes me feel better.” “I know. I’ve decided language isn’t as advanced as we think it is. We’re still apes trying to express our thoughts with grunts while most of what we want to communicate stays locked in our brains.”
