Hi Mr Zentner. First of all I want to thank you for writing The Serpent King. I read it in one day and I was deeply moved. I had the "panda look" from 70% in the book. You made me smile, rage, cry... My question for you now: I think it's your first book and it's been recently published but is there any chance it would be translated in French? My kids dont read in English (yet) and they would love your book!

Jeff Zentner Thank you Sophie!! Yes! There is a chance! My book just sold in Denmark, so perhaps France will be next!

My best girlfriend & I devoured The Serpent King and are now reading - and thoroughly loving - The Goodbye Days. We are both moms in our 50's who have lost children and so you what you have to say about grief is especially compelling to us. Can I ask why you have dealt with grief in both of your books? Your portrayals seem far too accurate to be simply observations of grief in others...
