(view spoiler)[I read your first few books and was very impressed with them. Then, I came across the book: The Heartfelt Life of Max Hatfield. I had to read it because I am enraptured with the series, but I was pissed. Really angry with you for having to have Max die by suicide. I should have trusted you and respected your process. Another beautiful story. Thx? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Hi, Paul. I'm not sure what you read in that story that led you to believe that Max committed suicide, because that is definitely not the case.
The condition that Max had often led to a shorter life. Throughout the story, I show that Max is fading. Michael even hesitates to take Max on his dream trip because he thinks he isn't strong enough.
At the end of the story, Max simply dies. If I remember right, I say that his eyes are open, staring at the stars. I don't know how you die by suicide that would leave your eyes open.
Take comfort in the fact that Max lived his life exactly as it was designed - to help Michael. (hide spoiler)]

I see that you have The Regretful life of Richard Bell coming in November. Maybe I just have missed them but it seems in the past they get announced and then bam they are out. Are you having the audiobook getting ready so that they come out at the same time? I know you have said in the past you do not like to do that, I can certainly see however how that could be very beneficial for pre-orders and first day sales.

I recently stumbled upon your Middle Falls series on audible and I am enthrawled! I can't stop listening and thinking about each of these characters and what a life like this would be like. I just finished book 7 - each book gets better and better and I am so happy there are more to dive into! Which of these characters are your fave & What was your inspiration for starting this world? Thank you from a Happy New Fan.

In Aiden Anderson you bring up the ability to use future hits. This is at least the 2nd time you have mentioned that. Does that mean in one of your lives you became a huge rock-star using future hits but then felt guilty? Maybe one of the songs you got the release date wrong and the real writer also released it but came out like a week after yours so they thought he was the one plagiarizing?
