Hello, I'm writing for school a review about your book but I alsow ould like to have some information about the author, which is you of course. So my questions are: where did you get your inspiration from and how did you come up with all those different characters/personalities? Greetings (of a big fan) Fey

Hey there - I've wanted to write an Agatha Christie-style novel since I was eight. I'm thirty eight now, so it's taken a while. I needed a clever twist on the formula to make it interesting, so I came up with adding the Groundhog Day style loop. As for the personalities, they were people I saw in my daily life. I studied peoples' expressions, their gaits, and the way they spoke, then put them into the novel.

Are there two different books? One says 7 and another says 7 1/2! I am so confused!

Although I am aware that you wish to challenge yourself with different plots and ideas within novels, I have a rather optimistic question: is there any possibility of writing more loop-murder-mystery? Perhaps the Plague Doctor is a reoccurring character that visits every 'detective' as he/she shift through the hosts? Now, climaxing into the most preposterous wish of all, is there ANY possibility of a series?
