I have your book right next to me and i wonder how you get all the info and words for this amazing book, 'Counting Thyme'. Please tell me soon, i am getting graded on this?

Melanie Conklin Research is a huge part of writing, no matter what kind of stories you tell. I am fortunate that Memorial Sloan Kettering (the hospital portrayed in Counting Thyme) shares detailed information about their clinical trials to support advancement in the field so that I could make this story as accurate as possible--though I hope very much that these difficult cancer treatments will one day be obsolete because of a cure. I hope you got a good grade!

Will you ever write a sequel or companion book to Counting Thyme? I would love to see a story featuring Cori (it seems like she has so much unexplored depth) or a few years later about Val!
