Peng Shepherd answered Joseph's question: What is the longest mutual handwritten mail correspondence you have had with someone? About a year. I was in grad school in London, and a friend from my hometown sent me a gorgeous little note that was almost more art than letter, with lots of doodles and colored ink and included some Polaroids and random magazine and newspaper clippi See Full Answer

Peng Shepherd answered Emma Maubach's question: Hello Peng, Your book The Cartographers, was recommended to me, by my coworker and has been a big topic of our book club. I just finished reading it and thought it was amazing! Now I'm just wanting more. Do you think there is a chance of a sequel to The Cartographers? Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that you loved The Cartographers so much. When I finished that novel, I felt like I owed it to Nell and Felix to let them have their ending, so I don't have any immediate plans to write a sequel, but I love the world o See Full Answer

Quotes by Peng Shepherd (?)

“Maps are love letters written to times and places their makers had explored.”
― Peng Shepherd, The Cartographers

“There’s a difference between when the mind forgets and the heart does.”

“Libraries have always been mysterious, almost mystical places to me. There’s something about the sheer vastness of them, the seemingly infinite number of books they protect and keep, that inspires a sense of wonder, making each visit feel like a quest for ancient secrets. Whenever I step into one, I always wander the stacks, choosing books by some invisible pull rather than by the author’s name or the catalog. It’s not efficient, but I can’t help it. It feels more magical this way.”
