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?

Hi! Thank you so much for the kind words! I am so happy to know that you've started writing your own letters -- that makes me really excited. I've started a page on my website where people can post their own letters and so many of them have just blown my away, broken my heart, and overall been amazing to read. You should post one or some of yours here if you want! http://avadellaira.com/love-letters/
And yes, the idea to create the page was inspired in part by an English teacher I met at a reading, who sent me a batch of letters that her students wrote after she gave them the same assignment Laurel gets in the book. They were just wonderful.

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?
