Back in December, our teen advisory group picked Neal Shusterman's "Everlost" as our book discussion book. What we didn't know was that the author's uncle lives in the area, had seen the publicity for the program in the paper, and called him to tell him so. To our surprise, Neal called during our discussion and answered questions about the book and its upcoming sequels!
Just the other day Neal emailed me to let me know he had put the discussion questions Mimi and I had created on his website. Here they are if anybody's curious:

He is also sending us signed copies of his books to say thank you! I love my job.

I remember when you mentioned him calling during that book discussion. Very cool!
It's great to see authors get involved with libraries. Maybe one day he'll even visit!
Awesome Amanda! Maybe you can get him to make you a character in his next book!
Kudos Amanda and Mimi!The discussion questions really made me want to check-out Everlost.
@Steve: If we paid him $1000 he'd be glad to visit! ;)
@Doug: Haha, the adventurous teen librarian would be the hero.
@Geri: Good! Mimi will disagree with me, but I thought his "Unwind" was even better. Talk about a gripping book. There is one particular scene that made me feel like crawling out of my skin . . . but I couldn't stop reading.
