Hi Mr. Tremblay, I've noticed you tend to keep your ratings to 4 or 5 stars. Does this come from a careful choosing of the books you read or more of a "if you can't say something nice..." kind of philosophy? I ask because your ratings and even more, your tremendously generous blurbs have become a marker of quality for me and my own reading selections. Thank you for that. I hope all is well.

Hi, Patrick. Once being in the still-can't-wrap-my-around position of having people take my recommendations seriously, I decided I would be in the business of promoting books I like and not posting negative reviews, especially if it's goodreads (if hired to write a review, I would write about my honest take on a book). So yeah, if I read something that I don't like, i don't add it to goodreads. No shade to anyone who posts about not liking a book, I just feel weird about it doing it now with eyeballs on me.

Hi Paul, first off, you are my favorite new author. Head Full of Ghosts was my favorite but Devil's Rock and Cabin were fantastic as well. I am very much looking forward to seeing Head Full of Ghosts adapted for the screen but let's face it...I'm scared! How involved are you going to be with the process? What are the things that you refuse to deviate from, even if the studio wants to edit? Are you writing screenplay?
