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 follow you on Facebook so I know that you have finished both the Goblins sequel and Diary of a Mad Brownie. Congratulations! I can't wait to read them!
I saw from one of the other Guestbook posts that Brownie seems to be based on your short story Clean as a Whistle. I enjoyed your last book based on one of your stories Always October.

Hi, Chrissy -

Well, I still have editing work to do on both books, but, yep, I've finished them, and it feels good!

You've got the source for MAD BROWNIE right. Thing was, "Clean As a Whistle" was pretty much a relationship story, with the brownie and Jamie working out how to live together. To make it book length I had to come up with a real plot.
