Shawna asked Joshua Gaylord:

Hi, Josh i recently just got finished with "when we were animals" and absolutely loved it. but the ending kind of confused me.. and would you ever make a sequel? looking forward to reading hummingbirds soon!

Joshua Gaylord Thank you! The ending is definitely ambiguous in certain ways. And, actually, I have considered a sequel. It would be interesting to me to explore Lumen's life as she leaves her town and goes off somewhere to college. But I'm not sure that book will ever be written. Just too many other things to write. But I'm glad you enjoyed the book!

Hi Josh, I am so excited to take your latest book, When We Were Animals, to the beach with me later this summer. Do you have any book recs that are similar to your writing style and content? Thanks, Corey

Steven

Steven asked Joshua Gaylord:

Hey, Josh, I won't say that you stood on the shoulders of Faulkner and McCarthy when you wrote the Alden Bell novels since I find them to be just as well written, however, the similarities cannot be overlooked. Do you find this style of writing more difficult than the style of the Joshua Gaylord novels, is this style of writing more rewarding, and will you continue to write in this style beyond the Reaper trilogy?

Sam

Sam asked Joshua Gaylord:

Is there a difference for you in process of writing/invention when approaching a realistic novel like Hummingbirds versus something with fantasy or supernatural elements like When We Were Animals?
