Thank you for another great read (Stay). I devoured this book. How do you do it? I read a lot of books (check out my profile if you can) and I honestly think you are the best contemporary fiction writer publishing today. Your stories are so real and the emotions so raw. You put your readers right there with the characters. Sometimes I wish I could savor them just a bit more. Thank you.

Wow. That is a lovely bunch of thoughts, Ginger! I really thank you for taking the time, as this made my evening. As to the question part of it, I am about to fall down on the job. I have no idea how I do it. My brain knows how to do this. After all these years accepting the many things it doesn't know how to do, it's a relief to find my niche. But I have no idea where the characters or stories come from, or how I get them down as fast as I do. I just keep practicing and it just keeps happening.

I would like to thank you for pay it forward. We are many teachers here in Sweden who show this movie to our pupils and have long discussions about many aspects in the film. Just last week 25 11 year olds watched and afterwards took action and did a few good deeds. Thank you so very much for writing this clever book?! Very best Wishes Malin Ek

I am trying to think of a question....I can not stop reading your books. You are such a good storyteller, I just woke up and opened my kindle and had to start reading before I had my coffee..haha. I am reading the Language of Hoofbeats right now. So my question will be, how do you think of the best topics to write about????
