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.

Hi Bruce!
I just read Hillbilly Elegy and I noticed that the author names Space Brat as one of the first books he read! It really made me smile to see that he paid homage to my favorite childhood author in his memoir, so I thought I'd bring it to your attention, in case you didn't know. I hope you're well! At 26, your books still have places of honor on my shelf (in my first real apartment).

Hey, Matt -
Thanks for this! I am amazed and delighted to have been cited in HILLBILLY ELEGY, which (from what I have read) is a very important book. Thanks for calling this to my attention.
I am indeed well, still at it and writing away. I am honored to know that my books still have a place of importance on your shelves! (And congrats on having your first real apartment!)
