Is 'Hour of the Witch' a young adult book? I have seen it listed under young adult as I browse through the internet. I am in the midst of reading this excellent story and as I read I think it is definitely an adult book.

I think young adult literature is wonderful, but HOUR OF THE WITCH is definitely an adult book. That doesn't mean that young adults should not read it. But they should approach it the way they do The Handmaid's Tale or The Underground Railroad or Beloved or Magic Lessons -- or any of the wonderful adult novels that young adults read.

I recently saw you at the Tucson Festival of Books and went right out and read the Flight Attendant. It was so interesting to read it after listening to you talk about it. I really enjoyed it and the character Cassie! I also enjoyed the playlist that you posted. So you ever envision writing a sequel to one of your books? I'd love to read more about Cassie in her new life.

I had the hardest time finding your book, Past the Bleachers? Goodreads only has one edition on it's list for the book and that is the one I have found. I know it was published in 1992, I did find it at an online used bookstore after I waited for a edition to come in. I am starting to read it today. I have your newest "The Sleepwalker" on hold at the library, can't wait.
