I have not gone to many book readings in my life and the few that I have been to have been horrible! Yours however was far from horrible - I had a great time and enjoyed the world you created within the room with your words - you brought your book alive. The book is wonderful I am very excited to own a copy - reading it right now! Congratulations on this new gem! You rock! Thank you for coming and reading at NYU!

I'm not sure if its based on you, but I too grew up in a motel. You rarely find someone who does, so I just wanted to say hi. I have tons of stories about the motel and I bet you also do to. You actually inspired me to sort of collate all my experience growing up in a motel. I do have a few question, but I don't mean to be intrusive. You just don't meet many people who grow up with our circumstances.</p> <p>Firstly, What do you do for a living, aside from writing. How long did you actually live in the motel. Any intersted experience that you left out of the book and specifically what actually happened at the end of the book, when the other family took over. Its been a year or two since I read it, but I remember your character basically had to cope by bringing in another family since your father was ill. </p> Hello Ed,
