Hello Mr. Nicholson, I have no question, just wanted to let you know I am playing Katherine, from your fantastic play Katherine Howard. I absolutely love everything about your play, and every time I read it, I am more amazed at its brilliance and your cleverness. Thank you for writing such a wonderful play. yours sincerely Debbie Lee

William Nicholson responded:

I love this play too - it's not been seen nearly as much as I'd like. I hope it goes really well.

William -- I'm a primarily YA book blogger (http://agoodaddiction.blogspot.com/) and I would love to help promote your upcoming fall release Rich & Mad. The premise sounds fantastic! I would like to do an interview with you in the coming months to spread word and if you have an available review copy, I would be also be very willing to review the book and post on my blog as well as amazon and goodreads. Finally, I host a book club forum and if you have time, we could set up a forum chat to give you a chance to talk with us. Thank you and congratulations on the upcoming release!

William Nicholson responded:

I've asked the publisher to send you a copy. I'd be delighted to have a forum chat when it works for you. The book is getting great reviews here in the UK.

Hi William, I will be attending your book launch at the Groucho club and reviewing your book for armadillo online magazine. I am just completing an MA in children's literature and have specialized in Young Adult Fiction. I am really looking forward to meeting you. I have yet to read a book that matches the dramatic narrative of my life in the last twelve months. Talk about Greek tragedy!!!

William Nicholson responded:

You'd better convert your own story into a book. That way you can give it the ending you want. See you on Thursday.

My daughter has read the copy of Rich & Mad that you signed for her at the FCBG conference last weekend. She says it's really in tune with how she's feeling at the moment. It's compelling, unpredictable, truthful, original and thought provoking. She'll be recommending it to her friends. Thank you - this book has helped her make decisions about the coming year (after her 'A' levels). She has 5 uni offers but has realised she has chosen the wrong course. We're all in support of her choice. Lucky she read your book now!

William Nicholson responded:

What a fantastic endorsement. I'm really pleased. Thank you for taking the trouble to pass on her response - though I am a bit nervous to hear that reading my book affected her choice of course at uni. If it all goes wrong you'll have to come back to me with the blame.

Thank you for your response to my post regarding Rich and Mad. I did actually think the same about The Secret Intensity of Everyday Life, how are you able to know what people are thinking. I have been going over this in my mind and I have come to the conclusion that of course you know what people are thinking because after all you are one of us, (the human race). The trick is to be able to put in down on paper and make it so understandable. I cant do it but you make it so clear. Thank you for your insight and writing and your ability to articulate on the page, fabulous jx

William Nicholson responded:

You're clearly a writer yourself. If I'm able to get onto paper what people are thinking, it's after many years of trying, failing, and slowly getting better. So there's hope for all.

This isn't a question, but I just wanted you to know how much I love your Wind on Fire Trilogy. It is my favorite collection of books apart from Harry Potter. I read them back in Junior High, but they are the only books I will reread. I am in my 20s now and I still love reading them. I just wanted to thank you so much for writing this book and to let you know how much it means to me.

William Nicholson responded:

Have you had a chance to read my Noble Warriors trilogy? There's a lot in it - more than younger readers can often take - and it just might work for you now. Thanks so much for your post. I love to hear that my books are connecting.
