Hey Peter, I just have a small question about your Seven Wonders series. Whenever a Select comes near a Loculus, they hear the Song of the Hep. How come as one touches the orb, the song can no longer be heard? Going further into the question, how come if one Select touches the orb, the other Selects don't hear the Song? ~ Jacob.
Well half of me wanted the pats and the other half of me wants the seahawks 28-24 Pats won u guest right Since my team the eagles havent won a Superbowl yet I hope they do next year
Hi its your most annoying fan again. I am working on a second draft of my book and would like to know what you do when writing second drafts. I feel like my story is going a lot faster now and my ideas are starting to make more since and develop easier. I am sort of plotting for everything and I feel like I am always thinking about my characters and story. For me, I keep having dreams with my characters and characters from other books I read. Does that ever happen to you? If it doesn't, let me tell you it is so fun to have dreams like that. Sorry I think I just rambled a lot there. OH! OH! and I just remembered. I am having one of my characters pull an elaborate prank on this character who is a rotten potato (meaning he is a total jerk) and I was wondering if you have ever pulled elaborate pranks on anyone. Thanks again. !tuo ecaep (backwards words are so fun I see why Cass likes it so much)

So far the giants,and phillies haven done good trading wise yet. Well I just hope that the patriots win the SuperBowl . Best wishes
Hi Peter!
Long time 39 Clues fan here and I'm desperately hoping you can help me with a question I have about the entire series.
Ok, so in your book ''The Sword Thief'', Amy and Dan deduce that since Gideon Cahill was an alchemist, the 39 clues must lead to the philosopher's stone. The book then goes on to place a heavy emphasis on alchemy throughout.
However, later in the series, the treasure is then revealed to be the Cahill Master Serum, which Gideon made when he was trying to find a cure for the Black Death. No reference is ever made again throughout the series to the Philosopher's Stone or even alchemy.
So my question is, is the treasure BOTH the philosopher's stone and the master serum? Or just the serum and they made a mistake in ''The Sword Thief''.
Many thanks in advance, Robert

My name is Folami Morris. I am an author, teacher, and group home mentor. I have witnessed firsthand the amazing effect that reading can have on the lives of people of all ages. For this reason, I am trying to promote national reading month. I am asking authors to donate 10 minutes of their time for an interview--via Skype or email-- and 1 autographed copy of their books to be given away (31 books in 31 days) I understand you are busy, being an amazing author, but I would greatly appreciate if you would participate. The author interview is really brief, mostly focusing on what reading means to you and why you love it. It can be completed at your leisure via email or at a time convenient for us both on Skype. I thank you in advance for your response.
I feel like I should write a thank you note because I've been bothering you so much. (Don't try to deny it we both know it's true) Thanks for all the helpful advice and such. I think you have really helped me get my idea of the ground. I finished the book and am now just polishing descriptions and character development. My grammar teacher is helping me with the run-on sentences and what not so we can get it as perfect as possible before we try to get it published. And-yay me-I finally thought of a decent title for it! Thanks for your encouragement. It means a lot coming from a published author. I look forward to reading your next book. Thanks again. I can't think of any memorable ending right now so I'm just gonna right this corny tagline I made up for one of my short stories: "Where there are Dragons, there is Magic!" -Jaleaf The Tamer of Mighty Mountains and a lot of other proud dragons
Mr. Lerangis,
I decided to write to you today when I was unpacking some old boxes and came across my old Worlds of Power books. After doing a quick Google search on the pen name F. X. Nine I found the interesting story of how you authored some of the books in the series that Seth Godin created and produced. As a kid, I dearly loved playing the NES but didn't spend much time reading in those days. It wasn't until later when I found books like yours which really interested me, that I found a love for reading which I still carry with me today along with my lasting passion for video games.
My wife and I are looking forward to starting a family of our own soon and I hope to instill the same joy of reading in my children that I have, with fun stories that they will connect with just as I did with Worlds of Power. The work that you, seth, and the rest of the authors did on the series meant a lot to me as a kid and I would really love it if I could send you a few books for you to sign along with a return envelope and postage for you to send them back. Thank you so much for you time, I hope to hear from you soon.
Very Respectfully,
Timothy Santens

Hi, It's Peyton again. sorry to bother you again, I know you must be really busy writing The Curse of The King and I can't wait for that book to come out. I know that when I am writing I have to make my sister be QUIET so I can concentrate. I hope this isn't a distraction to you. Anyways I have some writing questions. Can you start a paragraph with a quotation? I guessed yes because I am a grammar prodigy (or so I'm told) and figured as long as the rest of the paragraph supported the topic sentence it was fine. Now I'm asking you too since I wasn't sure and it is winter break so I can't ask my grammar teacher. Also, how do you keep track of all your plot idea's? I tried writing down basic ideas in a journal and then writing full plots on my laptop, but I found that I always have to update it when I get a better idea to make the story flow better. And how would you make sure you aren't plagiarizing another authors idea. Because I am writing this story that could be called 'similar' to Rick Riodan's Kane Chronicles. I think the characters are way different and so is the way it's set up, but maybe I don't see that it is actually a lot like his trilogy. How can I know? That's all I can think of. Thank you for your time I know that you are probably trying to finish that book so fans like my friends (cough-Emma-cough) will stop harping on you because of that emosewa cliffhanger you did in book three. I feel like I'm the only one who appreciates authors' cliff hangers. Mostly because I do them in my stories. (evil cackle) Thanks for inspiring me by being the great author you are. You are totally emosewa!
Dear Mr.Lerangis,
how have you been? it's been a while since I last posted. The thing was that I moved to japan and I was too busy. it's my first time living in Japan and I'm really not used to it. The culture difference is really big. I can only feel peace when I jump into the world of books. Especially yours! Please keep writing books like these.

Hello again Peter Thank you for the advice. I am starting a book that I don't have a title for yet. I really hope that they make movies for the seven wonders. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A SAFE HOLIDAY.
Aloha, Peter! My son is a very big fan of yours. He came to me tonight and told me that he wanted to write a letter to you. I said that he could and a half an hour later, he came back with a handwritten letter. Now, I'm old school so even though they take forever and are a humbug to mail, I would just like to tell my son that I mailed it off to you (and be truthful about it). So I guess what I'm asking for is an address that I could mail the letter to. U also wanted to thank you for inspiring a 12 year old boy enough to read 2 huge books in a matter of days. Mahalo nui!

Hi Peter, I am a reading teacher and teach grades 4,5, and 6. We have read the Colossus book and our about to finish Babylon. My class absolutely loves them. Thank you for opening up a world of reading to students who otherwise would find reading boring. We are going to start Tomb of the Shadows in the near future and are excited to see what happens next. Do you have any books or websites where material can be used for vocab or quizzes for chapters/ worksheets ? Please keep up the good work. A true fan-

I was just wondering if you had any advice on plotting and/or writing endings to books. I've been having trouble with that. Thanks.
I am now an adult, but I read all 131 of the BSC books, plus a number of the Super-Specials. I am writing a paper on the Baby-Sitters Club book series for a conference presentation. According to the list of BSC books on (wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Baby-Sitters_Club_novels), BSC #1-35 are by Ann Martin, and #36-131 are by writers other than Ann Martin. I understand that you ghost-wrote a number of Baby-Sitters Club books. I don't know if this is a question that you cannot answer according to your BSC contract with Scholastic, but if you *can* answer (or give hints?): 1. Could you tell me any of the titles or numbers of the BSC books you wrote? 2. Could you say something about how much guidance vs. how much freedom you were given to create aspects of plot, characters, dialogue, and/or other elements of the books? 3. Since the BSC books have multiple narrators, you would have written chapters in the voices of all of the BSC members. Did you have character(s) or voice(s) that you particularly enjoyed writing about/in? I understand that you may not be at liberty to give full answers, but I'd appreciate whatever information you can provide. Thanks! Christine
I was at your presentation in Gillette WY. You are a great writer, and you are very funny! please write me back.
Hi Peter, Thanks for writing books that are so awesome. You, Rick Riodon, and Christopher Paolini are the main authors that really inspired me to start writing. I wrote a couple of short stories that have been going around my 8th grade class. My grammar teacher is praising me so much because I'm the only girl in her class that is really into writing. The boys who are good (cough-terrible-cough) writing can't even write full stories! It's really weird getting praised so much for my writing. When it happened to you at first how did you react. Sometimes my friends are a little too excited about my stories though. One of my friends is always harping on to hurry up and write the next part of a story whenever I give her a couple pages that have a cliffhanger at the end. I told her that you and Rick Riodon are lucky you don't live in Oregon (or anywhere near Oregon for that matter) otherwise she would probably steal your story flash drives (if you use a computer and a laptop to write like me) like she tries to do to me whenever we hang out. I've started plotting a book about Egyptian mythology and am going to try to finish it by the end of the summer of 2015 or sooner if the plot works. Do you have any advice for me about that? One last thing, because my 5th grade sister is yelling at me to ask you where you got the idea for Seven Wonders and I want to know how you came up with the gnizama titles? I can only think of a series title for my book.
Hi Peter Lerangis, That's so cool! I didn't thought that one of my favorite authors would write me. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. I read the "Tomb of shadows" two weeks ago, and now I can't wait for the next book. And, that's fantastic, I had fun to see that you wrote something in German in "Colossus Rising" too! So I understood the map before Jack. That was quite funny. After I read the 3rd book of this fantastic series I like it even more than before. I like it that you make so many changes. I thought that the book would go on the way I think, but in no time it changed in such a great way. I really really liked the end! It made the "Tomb of shadows" to the best book I read this year. I hope the 4th book will be out soon, so that I can read more. Your topic is all of this: funny, interesting and exciting. Plus it is the reason why I chose English as one of the two subjects I'll do in a harder way next year. I don't know how to thank you for that. No computer game could be as entertaning as your books. They give me the feeling, that though the new digital mediums the books will never die. And that's great. As I began reading the Seven Wonders, I didn't knew anything about the Wonders. OK, I had hear of it, but I forgot them and thought maybe the statue of liberty is one of them. So your series is very educative for everyone. I searched for something like that a long time, after I liked the books about Percy Jackson and the 39 Clues. So I just looked if there are english books of a 39 clues author, and I found the Seven Wonders. At the moment I don't know if there are many people who read the book in german, because it was published only some weeks ago. But I hope that will change and the german children will love the book just like I do. Please go on writing, I'm a big fan of you!!!! PS: Which age is the "Seven Wonders" made for? I just saw that in Germany they sell it for 10 -13 years old. So I wanted to know, which age you wanted to reach with the books. I'm 15 and I like them, so I just wanted to ask.
Hello i love your books they are the best next to the bible i own all three and the journals I can't wait for the forth book. My question is, are the books going to be made into movies?
Hi! I just wanted to say how I am absolutely terrified of your books D: I first found out about you when I picked up the 39 Clues series. The ending of The Sword Thief just killed me! Now whenever I see your name printed on the cover of a book, I just KNOW that I'm going to have to get settled down in a comfy couch somewhere because I know that I'm going to get flooded with feelings! I read with a blanket to tame myself from the emotional rollercoaster you create sometimes. Thanks for being such a great writer. I honestly enjoy your writing.
