Hi! I just wanted to say that I loved Serpent King so much and I even got some of my friends to read it. Your writing is just so beautiful and I love the characters so much, especially Travis. I ended up finishing the books with tears in my eyes. Thank you for creating the most brilliant and touching story that I have ever read. Anyways, what material things inspire you to write?
Jeff Zentner
Puneet, thank you so much!! That makes my year! I try to write who and what fascinates me. Who I want to know better. I want to be friends with. I'm also very inspired by the beauty of the natural world and the fleeting nature of life. So I struggle with those things in my writing. We have such a short time on this beautiful world before we go.

Your writing intrigued me. I don't always see authors in their words, but throughout "Goodbye Days", I couldn't ignore that there was a person and a life behind the chapters. For all I know, the story could be true; it didn't seem like it was gnawing at the elastic edges of reality. It felt like a conversation - no easy thing to accomplish. I feel that you are like me in your thoughts. Can you share more of them?
