Aim asked Francisco X. Stork:

I love your writing, and the way that it just connects with my thoughts, mind, and soul. So I want to know, what do you believe makes your books so easily... Connectable?

Francisco X. Stork Thank you! I think you hit the mark when you talk about a connection between the author and the reader's soul. That's what makes a book so special, the bond and sense that someone felt the way you felt and saw what you saw and some how found the words for it. As to what makes this connection possible? I think it comes from the author being true to himself or herself and pursuing the questions in his/her heart and then embodying them in characters and story. The reader can sense that sincerity and honesty and the connection is made.
