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 love your Magic Shop books, and Goblins in the Castle. While I like many other books you've written, I really keep hoping for more of these.
By the way, while I started reading them with my daughter, I still like them myself.(I'm 61.)
Thanks for your time.

Hello, Friend -
What a lovely message! You focused on what I would consider some of the best of my work. That said, I regret to report that there is not much chance of any new Magic Shop books right now. The publisher of that series done me wrong in a really serious way, and I am not willing to work with them at this point.
That said, I am happy to report that I have finished a sequel to GOBLINS IN THE CASTLE! I am in the final stages of revision, and feel pretty good about it. This one is told from Fauna's point of view, and I think it has some very cool stuff in it - including a love interest for Igor!
We are pretty much of an age (I'm 63, about to tip over to 64) so the fact that you still like my books truly delights me!
