Beagle Lover (Avid Reader) asked Michael Grant:

How do you arrive at the names of your characters? Are they entirely made up or have some meaning only to you?

Michael Grant Various ways. Some just pop into my head like Dekka from GONE or Rio from FRONT LINES. Other times I scan baby name lists until something feels right.

do you hang out with Rick Riordan????

Rainbow | Realm of Stories asked Michael Grant:

Hi, Michael Grant! Your Gone series is gripping and absolutely fantastic! I still have yet to read Light. I bet it's going to be very emotional! Did you carefully plan out most of what was going to happen when you're writing the Gone novels, or did you mostly made up the story as you went along? Have you got any advice on writing action and romance scenes? How many hours on average do you write per day?

Taylor asked Michael Grant:

The Gone series is one of my favorite book series. How did you come up with the idea of the FAYZ and the book series as a whole?
