We just finished reading Peak today and loved it! We have been exploring your website and blog and watching some video trailers of other books you have written. Many of us are excited to read some more of your novels soon! We would so greatly enjoy if Peak turned into a real movie some day. We would love to read a sequel to Peak or another book in the Cryptid Hunters series. If you have some time, could you please send us some writing tips? We have been very busy writing our own stories and would love to have some help from a published author. One question a student in our class has is "Where do all of your ideas for your books come from?" Another student would like to know "How do you build action and excitement into your novels?" We would appreciate any help you could give us. :) Thank you for your time and Merry Christmas! The students of Room 26 Dear Mr. Smith,

I found it fascinating reading Peak, as it was so strangely similar to my own life (well, I haven't climbed Sagarmāthā yet). I've continued free climbing and parkour, and I'm currently training 3 times a week in the city (3:08 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdYhQgy2bsU) as well as indoors once a week for gymnastics. I'm hoping to step this up and start climbing witha few friends of mine sometime next year (after I convince mum, that is). Once again, I really appreciate you publishing my story, it was great to be inspired in such a personal way. Cheers, Josh.
