Hello there! I fell absolutely head over heels for These Shallow Graves. It's one of my favorite books of all times. I was wondering what your personal feelings about the story are? Thank you so much for sharing your work!
Jennifer Donnelly
Thank you, Savannah! My personal feelings are that I love the story, too, and I miss those characters -- especially Oscar!! One day, I hope to find out what they're all up to ... and maybe continue the story!

Hey, Jennifer! I was just wondering a few things. So, I'll jump right in, I guess. Is Orfeo based off of Orpheus? Being that they both were willing to get their loves back by going to extreme measures. What made you choose the characters (the six, Desiderio, Marco, and Mahdi) for the story? Why are the songspells what you with went instead of, say, chants? How do you start a book? Do you just jump in? Thanks!

This is more of a comment. But I really loved your book deep blue. I got it for christmas and when I started reading the book I was like eh I could do something better. But then once when I had nothing to do I started reading more and I finished it in less than 3 hours. So will you write any more after Sea spell?
