And how long did it take you to write &#8220;Making bombs for Hitler&#8221;? In conclusion I hope you respond to these questions.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dear Daniel, \u00a0Thanks so much for your email. I tried to respond but your message bounced. I&#8217;m delighted that you&#8217;re a fan of <strong>Making Bombs for Hitler<\/strong>. I have written 20 books and some of them may be available from your local library. There will be a sequel to Making Bombs coming out next year with Scholastic. It will be from Luka&#8217;s point of view. The following year, a third book will be published, told from Larissa&#8217;s point of view. It took me a couple of years to do the research for Bombs, then 6 months of solid writing, then a year of editing, rewriting, and revision. I was inspired to write Lida&#8217;s story because I met people who had lived through the war just like she had yet I&#8217;d never seen their stories in a book. All the best, Marsha<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel from David Douglas School District in Portland OR wrote: Marsha, I am a big fan of the book you wrote, &#8220;Making bombs for Hitler&#8221; and, I hope you continue to make great books.
