Not a question! But writing in the hopes that you read this? I try, as a challenge, to read 12 books a year that are freshly published in that year, I've been doing it since 2017. Notes On An Execution captivated and moved me in a way that no book has in that time. It was heart-wrenching, immersive and beautiful. I'll be recommending it to all my friends and colleagues. Thank you so much for what you've given us.

Danya Kukafka This warmed my heart. Thank you so much, Rob.

Just finished Girl in Snow--holy Moses!--and I am wondering: will we see any of these characters in your next book? Cameron is particularly riveting, and I won't say more lest I ruin it for others. I used to teach teenagers and am impressed by how well you captured the boundary-pushing behaviors that make adults involved wonder what will be outgrown, and what signifies real trouble that will carry forward.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the teen perspectives, though, and there is a good chance my future work will feature young characters too. Teenagers are fascinating to me for that exact reason. Thanks so much for reading, Donna!(less)

Quotes by Danya Kukafka (?)

“You don't need to have it all. You only need to figure out how much is enough.”
― Danya Kukafka, Notes on an Execution

“Grief was a hole. A portal to nothing. Grief was a walk so long Hazel forgot her own legs. It was a shock of blinding sun. A burst of remembering: sandals on pavement, a sleepy back seat, nails painted on the bathroom floor. Greif was a loneliness that felt like a planet.”
― Danya Kukafka, Notes on an Execution

“She had known from a young age that everyone had darkness inside-some just controlled it better than others. Very few people believed that they were bad, and this was the scariest part. Human nature could be so hideous, but it persisted in this ugliness by insisting it was good.”
