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 just want to thank you for being the voice of my childhood. I have since read your stories to my own children and have gifted your books to many special children in my life. I always recommend Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher to parents looking to spark their child's imagination.

Many thanks for this, Samara! One of the better things about being as old as I am now is becoming a "two-generation writer" Knowing my first readers are now sharing my books with their children is one of the best validations possible!
Please wait...
