Deniz asked Michael Grant:

I started reading your book, BZRK, a few days ago and I absolutely loved it. The way you write is so engaging for an audience. Sadie was definitely my favourite character in that book. How do you come up with an idea for a book? When you come up with the idea, what do you do to transform it into words?

Michael Grant Ideas are the easy part. I've always been OCD about mites and such, then the great bedbug panic started, and I was already looking for a new 'enemy' so to speak. Put it all together and I had BZRK.

As for turning idea into story, that's a whole book unto itself, I'm afraid.

So Michael, thanks for the review like! Just so you know, I updated it to reflect that I found more information to show that you were right! The LA Times had an article confirming your use of "Gold Star Family" was correct for the time. Super cool. Thanks for the amazing detail in Front Lines. It was a great book. I look forward to more. When will #2, Silver Stars, be out in paperback?

Hi Mr. Grant, I'm a huge fan of your Gone series. But I've always wondered: how did you map out the time thing at the beginning of each chapter throughout the series?
