Mariana Sierra asked Ava Dellaira:

First of all, I want to say thank you for expressing those feelings for us , people who don't know or don't want to express them, my question is: where were you inspired to describe the feelings of Laurel? How did you feel them in such an extraordinary way that even people who don't know what it is to lose a brother, or a person you love as such can relate to her? kisses & blessings

Ava Dellaira Hi Mariana,
Thank you so much for the kind words! Laurel's a character that I felt very connected to--there are certainly pieces of myself and my experiences in her. But, the story also came out how it did only after lots of work and many drafts! :)

Hi Ava-I thought this book was amazing-I love books in letter form but this one blew me away (I am a young at heart reader).Since reading it I have thought about doing this for myself just for fun (and therapy). Have you had any info or interest from schools in using your book in a writing or English class?

Gaby Castillo asked Ava Dellaira:

Hi Ava, your book meant a lot to me, it's now one of my favorites, I really felt so connected with Laurel because I had a recently lost, and reading Love letters to the dead really help me to go through this, so thank you. My question is... If you decide to write another book will you follow this line of Love letters or will you try in another kind of genre?
