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.

Okay, so as a young child I loved reading the Unicorn Chronicles. I was looking at my bookshelves the other day and decided to reread the series. (I love your work) Are there any more of your books you recommend for young adults? I am currently a YA writer (well, one in the making anyway). Are you going to write any more novellas or books for the Unicorn Chronicles? I know you must get thousands of messages every day, and go to tons of signings. How do you find time to write? Thanks. Bye.

Hi, Darby -
Hmmm. Depends on how you define "young adults." The Unicorn Chronicles actually was meant to be a middle grade series, though books three and four definitely crossed over into YA territory.
If you haven't read JEREMY THATCHER, DRAGON HATCHER I think you might enjoy it. GOBLINS IN THE CASTLE is a wacky fantasy. And maybe ALWAYS OCTOBER, for starters.
I am hoping to do more stories in the world of the Unicorn Chronicles. Scholastic put the books out of print, but we've got the rights back now and my agent is working on making them available once more. If they find a new audience I would love to write additional stories!
A great question about "how do you find time to write?" It's a constant struggle. It's more a matter of making time, TAKING time, than of finding it. And there are always other things that don't get done.
Best of luck with your own writing . . . may you find much success with it!
All best,
BC
