Paul answered Rita Platt's question: Hi Paul, it's your number one fan, Rita. Hey, to be clear, it's not like a Misery way, I totally, 100% promise. I included you in my 2nd books for teachers list on my MiddleWeb blog this year. https://www.middleweb.com/44325/need-a-good-read-browse-ritas-2020-list/ So, the question is, do you ever get tired of all of the total adoration? Do you feel like fans are gah gah for you? ha, thank you, Rita. And no, I will never tire of people (hopefully) enjoying my books. Thank you so much for the inclusion. Loved seeing The Bus on Thursday on the list too. What a cool and weird book.

“Ideas. I'm possessed by ideas. Ideas that are as old as humanity, maybe older, right? Maybe those ideas were out there just floating around before us, just waiting to be thought up. Maybe we don't think them, we pluck them out from another dimension or another mind.”
― Paul Tremblay, A Head Full of Ghosts
