Oh my ghaaaaaaa! I found you! I bought your book last month or last last month (????) and finally found the time to read it yesterday and have just finished reading it moments ago. Thank you. Thank you for that wonderful. It's amazing. Thank you for Rafe. He makes life a little brighter... so my question is man you please push the publishing of Honestly Ben on an earlier date? Also will be Bryce be back on Ben's book?
Bill Konigsberg
Hi there! So glad you enjoyed Openly Straight and loved Rafe so much!
I wish I could change the publication date, but that's up to the folks at Scholastic. So I'm waiting along with the rest of you to see the book in print! I will tell you that a whole new adventure for the characters awaits, and I promise you it will be a fun ride.
As for Bryce? I expected he'd be a big part of the book, but it turns out his mother sent him to one of those wilderness programs where he's getting in touch with his inner mountain man. So no, he's not really a big part of Honestly Ben... I miss him, too!

Hi, Bill! I've read Openly Straight and Out of the pocket this weekend and I loved the books! But most of all, I LOVED Ben and I LOVED Bobby! You created such gentle, yet very strong-willed characters! I know there's a sequel for Openly Straight (can't wait)! But I'm dying to know how did Bobby's life turn out? Did he get into a good college? Did he get to play professionally?!

Hi Mr. Konigsberg! I'm reading Out of the Pocket right now and I adore your writing style. Everytime I set out to write a book, I lose my energy for it within days. How do you keep your love for a story from burning out? Does this just mean their bad ideas or that I'm not working on them hard enough?
