KY asked John Marrs:

Hi John, I have read almost all of your books (Marriage act and the vacation left). love them all. I have always wondered, how do you come up with ideas for the 4 books that are in the same world(the one, the passengers, the minders and the marriage act). Are the stories your actual vision of the future world ? How you would imagine it ? or you have those ideas from somewhere else. Thanks!

A Goodreads user asked John Marrs:

I am listening to the audio version of "The Marriage Act" and I am very upset of the name "Corrine" being mispronounced.. as a fellow "Corine" who was excited to see my name in your book, I am very upset with the mispronunciation of my name insert dramatic tears I still love you as an author, but am disappointed in this! I even looked up at the british pronunciation, but no, the narrator just butchered it!?

Rachel asked John Marrs:

Hi John, Re The One (I enjoyed it); Im curious if you wrote any other storylines that didn’t make it into your self or house published versions. (And why not?) I read in an earlier response you had thought to cut Jade’s story; did you have a replacement? Did you think about cross-religion/race/ethnic/culture pairings? Or would that potentially be too much to get mired down in, or too cliché, or…? Thanks.
