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.
Admin Reply:
Hi, Jacob!  That’s an incredibly perceptive question, and you’re the first to ask it.  The Song is a form of energy that isn’t really pure sound but a kind of all-body experience.  The Select are the only ones tied to the Atlantean energy, and the Song happens as the source draws them in.  It is like the force of a magnet that increases as a metal object gets closer — or the force of gravity that pulls us to the earth when we fall.  Once the Selects are in possession of Loculi, they are one with its energy, so they no longer have the same feeling, the same way we don't think we feel the pull of gravity when we’re on level ground.  Does that make sense?  That’s about the best I can do!  Thanks for asking.

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)
Admin Reply:
Hi, Peyton!  You dream about your characters?  That’s great!  In my typical dream, I’ve forgotten where I parked my car.  I’m wandering up and down the street with my clicker, hoping one of the cars responds.  I had this dream just last night.  My dreams are ridiculously boring.
I’m happy to read that your story is going well and you’re in your second draft.  Often my second drafts are WAY different from my first.  By the second draft my characters have really come to life in my head, much more so than they were at the beginning of my first draft.  So I end up changing lots of earlier material that no longer makes sense.  If you’re not afraid to take things apart and put them back together in a better way, you’ll be fine.
As for pranks, let’s just say the answer is yes.  But I have been trying to bury the memory of them for years.  Erom on yas nac I.

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
Admin Reply:
Hi, Robert!  Great question.  If you read the SWORD THIEF carefully, you see that by the end, Amy and Dan discover that they were wrong about the alchemy angle.  That whole idea is turned on its head by the discovery they make at the end of the book.  Hope this helps!

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.

Hello, Folami!  Thanks for writing, and for all your great work.  I’d be happy to do an email interview.  I received your FB message, too, and will respond to it with details.

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

Hello, Timothy!  I can’t adequately express how much this message moved me.  Thanks so much for taking the time to write this.  I so enjoyed working with Seth and dreaming up these books, at a time when my career was beginning and my own children were so young.  I wish you all best with your future family.  I’m honored to have been a small part of your own youth.  Of course I will sign your books.  Look for an email message with details, and happy new year!
Peyton Noreen wrote on January 2, 2015 at 10:08 PM
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!

Hi, Peyton!  By now your holiday is over and maybe you’ve already gotten the answer to your paragraph question, but just in case — you are right,  it’s perfectly fine to begin a paragraph with a quote.  As for writing down plot ideas, I pretty much do what you do.  I’m not quite as tidy about my original ideas.  I tend to write them on scraps of paper, envelopes, menus, receipts, my iPad.  I don’t recommend this.  I lose some of them.  There may be a few brilliant book ideas buried under coffee grounds and decaying plastic bags in some landfill.  But I try to develop the best ones into plot outlines on my desktop or my laptop.  Eventually I do a full chapter outline, too.  Like you, I am ALWAYS changing and tinkering.  But that’s part of the job and part of the fun.  If you’re good at what you do, if it’s really important to you, there’s no such thing as “getting it right.”  You’re constantly dreaming up better ways to tell your story — even way past the outline stage, even as you’re writing.  And then you keep changing in your drafts.  Often my second drafts are completely different than my first.  It can be nerve-wracking, but honestly it’s amazingly exciting to feel your story getting stronger and stronger in ways you couldn’t have predicted.
As for plagiarism, don’t worry about it.  If you’re not sitting over Rick’s book and copying out passages word-for-word, you’re fine.  You’re allowed to be influenced by other stories; everyone is.   If you’re satisfied within yourself that your story is different and unique, go for it.
(By the way, I hope you saw my answer to your first post below.)

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.

A belated thank you, Brandon!  I had the best Christmas, and I hope you did too.  Our Christmas tree is still lying on the curb, abandoned, waiting to be picked up, which is kind of sad and kind of funny (I guess some things take awhile in New York City).  Have a happy new year!

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! Brandi Sproat-Tilini

Thank you so much, Brandi-Lee!  I am honored and delighted to know that your son enjoys the books so much.  Knowing how quickly he read them is the kind of news that really inspires me to keep going.  He can send the letter to me c/o George Nicholson, Sterling Lord Literistic, 65 Bleecker Street, NY, NY 10012.  I do have to warn you that I am woefully behind in paper-letter-writing, so I can’t promise a timely response.  Please invite him to write me here if he’d like, or through the Contact link above  Believe it or not, these are much easier and quicker for me, and I do get to EVERY post.

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-

Truman wrote on December 3, 2014 at 8:38 PM
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.
Admin Reply:
Hi, Truman!  I could write a book about plot and endings, so it’s hard to give general advice, especially as I haven’t read your story and I don’t know how you prepared for it.  The best and most basic thing I can say is that a lot of plot problems happen when (a) you need to know your characters better, and (b) you need a story outline.
The most important thing to keep in mind, throughout your story, is what each character wants.  This is the #1 necessity in every scene, every story, every piece of dialog.  This is true in life, too — when two people are talking, they each want something from the other.   It could be money, love, recognition, a secret answer, a laugh, some homework notes, whatever.  The more different your characters are from one another, the sharper your story’s conflicts will be, and the more interesting the scenes will be.   So you have to really KNOW your characters as if they were family or best friends.  Write down little histories of your characters, complete with all their weird habits, how they act around their friends and family, what important things have happened to them in their lives, etc.  Make them MUCH different from one another.  Then think of a basic plot — beginning, middle, and end — and write it all down, before you begin writing the book.  It’s really good to know how the book will end before you begin writing.  Why do I harp on about characters so much?  Because THEY will help you figure out the plot, too, as you go along.  At some point, as you image your character doing something in your story, you may say to yourself, “Hey wait, this character would never do this, he would do THAT!”  And the THAT may become the best part of your story.
Does that make sense?  I wish I could be more specific, but I hope this helps, and Happy New Year!

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
Admin Reply:
Hi, Christine!  Apologies for the delay; I hope this answer doesn’t arrive too late.  I can answer your questions.  First, that Wikipedia article is not exactly correct.   Yes, Ann did write the first 35 BSC books, but it’s not true that all the rest were ghostwritten.  At first she alternated writing the books with ghostwriters, finally giving way when the series spinoff demands became too great — but that took awhile.  I think [pl-popup content="http://babysittersclub.proboards.com/thread/3688/books-ghostwriter" title="" width="1000" height="640"]this list[/pl-popup] is accurate, or pretty close. The rule of thumb is to look at the copyright page. If there is no ghostwriter dedication there, Ann wrote it.  But it’s also super-important to note that even when she didn’t write the book, she came up with the idea for each book, along with a very detailed outline.  Her presence was deep in that whole series.

The books I wrote (in order, and including the spinoffs) were numbers 44: Dawn and the Big Sleepover; 49: Claudia and the Genius of Elm Street; 55: Jessi’s Gold Medal; Readers’ Request: Logan’s Story; 60: Mary Anne’s Makeover; 65: Stacey’s Big Crush; Super Special 10: Sea City, Here We Come!; Readers’ Request: Logan Bruno, Boy Babysitter; 67: Dawn’s Big Move; 70: Stacey and the Cheerleaders; 72: Dawn and the We Love Kids Club; 75: Jessi and the Horrible Prank; 79: Mary Anne Breaks the Rules; Super Special 12: Here Come the Bridesmaids!; 83: Stacey vs. the BSC; 85: Claudia Kishi, Live from WSTO; 87: Stacey and the Bad Girls; 89: Kristy and the Dirty Diapers; 92: Mallory’s Christmas Wish; 95: Kristy + Bart = ?; 97: Claudia and the World’s Cutest Baby; 98: Dawn and Too Many Sitters; Super Special 13: Aloha, Baby-Sitters!; 100: Kristy’s Worst Idea; 102: Mary Anne and the Little Princess; 103: Happy Holidays, Jessi; Mystery 27: Claudia and the Lighthouse Mystery; 105: Stacey the Math Whiz; 106: Claudia, Queen of the Seventh Grade; 107: Mind Your Business, Kristy; 109: Mary Anne to the Rescue; Super Special 14: BSC in the USA; 113: Claudia Makes Up Her Mind; 115: Jessi’s Big Break; Super Special 15: Baby-Sitter’s European Vacation; California Diaries 2: Sunny, Diary One; 3: Maggie, Diary One; 4: Amalia, Diary One; 5: Ducky, Diary One; 6: Sunny, Diary Two; 9: Amalia, Diary Two; 10: Ducky, Diary Two; 14: Amalia, Diary Three
Blessedly, I was given an outline for each book, and a “bible” of plot and character summaries.  But that was it.  It was Scholastic who’d contacted me to ghostwrite, not the other way around, so I always felt they were eager for me to inject my voice, style, tone, humor, etc., into the series.  I connected with Ann’s wry humor and I took it a little further in that direction, because that’s basically how I roll.  I was a nervous wreck writing that first book, because it was so removed from any experience I’d ever had.  But the editors always responded enthusiastically and constructively to whatever I wanted to do.  I believe that creative expression can work extremely well when you have strictures.  I felt incredibly free within mine.
It’s hard to remember, almost 25 years (!!) later, but I think I enjoyed Claudia, Stacey, Kristy, and Logan the best.  Eventually I began to like writing for Dawn, too.

Hope this helps!

Peyton wrote on November 29, 2014 at 2:14 AM
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.
Admin Reply:
Hi, Peyton! So sorry to have taken this long to return your wonderful message. The holidays waylaid me and I’m dutifully catching up!  I hope yours were terrific and I also hope your sister has stopped yelling at you.  I have a younger brother and sister and they STILL yell at me.  Ah, well …  Anyway, yes, I know what that feels like to receive outlandish praise and then everyone starts treating you differently.  It freaked me out a little at first.  On the one hand it felt amazing to be looked up to, on the other hand I worried I wasn’t as good as people thought I was, and I worried I’d spend the rest of my life disappointing everyone’s expectations!  In the long run, I realized I just had to stick to my work, write the stories, grow as a person and as a writer.  As for the rest, a sense of humor is your best friend.  It helps a lot, and it seems like you have one, so you’re in good shape.  Better to have people fuss over your talents than ignore them!  Back to your sister — to answer her question about titles, I have to say, REALLY???  I always thought I was pretty bad at thinking up titles.  I guess I’m a late bloomer.  Wait till you and she see the chapter titles for Book 4.  I’m pretty proud of those.
And YOU should be proud of your work.  But not too proud.  After you’re done with your sure-to-be-emosewa Egyptian-mythology book, you’ll need to write something else — and it’ll be even more gnizama!
Dario wrote on November 15, 2014 at 6:35 PM
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.
Admin Reply:
Hi, Dario!  Thank you so much for that beautiful note.  I am thrilled that Tomb of Shadows was your favorite book of the year, and honored that my books have inspired you to delve into the English language!  You are doing extremely well already, so take my best wishes with you for your studies!
I certainly will continue to go on writing.  Messages from readers are great inspirations to me.  So your words mean as much to me as mine do to you!  As to your question about the age level of The Seven Wonders, I don’t really like upper age limits.  The age categories assigned to books are for marketing and shelving purposes only.  I try to write without upper limits.  I have spoken with college students and adults who have enjoyed the books, as well as very precocious second graders.

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.
