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.

Dear Bruce,
In the early 90's when I was 10 or so, remember the space brat series being my favorite books. Even now I still think about them. Now that I have three kids of my own I was thinking about them and thought "hey, let me see if I can find them because the kids would love them." So I headed up into the attic and searched through one of my old boxes and I found them. Space Brat 1 - 4. While 4 looked almost brand new, the first one clearly had some mileage. Anyway, to make a long story short I went online to find a new 1, and found that there was a 5 I never read. I am very excited to revisit my childhood with my own kids and just want to thank you for what I think is a very special moment.
Thanks
Mike

Hi, Michael --
Oh, man, this message delighted me, for two reasons. First, the SPACE BRAT books were some of the most fun writing I ever did. My wife (who did the art) and I had a blast creating those books. Second, one of my favorite things about being a dad was reading to my kids, and it thrills me beyond measure to know that someone like is now sharing my books with his own kids. Thanks for letting me know!
