I'm a big fan and have been reading and rereading your books since I was 12 years old. Over the past 10 years you've written several sequels. This has been great and please continue. What motivated this and are there any other characters you are thinking of revisiting in the future?

John Grisham It all goes back to story. I have dozens of ideas, not all of them workable. Occasionally one will fit a certain character I’ve already created, and this leads to a sequel. Other than Theo, I have no plans as of today to revisit characters we’ve seen before.

How do you have the energy to keep working and writing?

Grahame asked John Grisham:

You have mentioned beginning a book on January 1st every year, hoping to finish in June. When do you construct the outline for the next novel? Thanks!

Brayden asked John Grisham:

Hello, John- I was wondering how you came up with the idea for 'The Firm' and what it was like writing it?
