Welcome to the Guestbook!
I’m always eager to read your comments about my books and stories, so please feel free to pitch in. Here are a few things for you to know:
1) I answer the messages here personally.
2) No message shows up here until I actually answer it to prevent spam and other inappropriate postings. So there will sometimes be a delay before your message posts, especially if I am traveling.
3) Teachers, a gentle request: Please do not have multiple children send me variants of the same message. A group email is much easier to respond to and not such a drain on my time. My thanks in advance for being alert to this.

I discovered the Nine Tanleven books as a grade schooler just learning to read. I read (and re-read, and re-read...) them growing up. As an adult I found an old set at a book sale and have enjoyed the stories every bit as much as I did nearly thirty years ago. Some books just stay with you for the long haul. Thank you for these wonderful stories. Cheers!

Hi, Jennifer -
Many thanks for this lovely message. The Nina ("Nine") Tanleven books are very close to my heart, partly because I based Nine and her dad upon my daughter and myself. And their house is based on the house we were living in at the time I wrote them. It delights me to know that the books still hold up for you!
All best,
BC
