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 was so excited to see a Nina Tanleven ghost story on Smashwords! I loved "The Ghost in The Third Row" and read it a dozen times as a kid. I always wished the stories would go on beyond the two sequels that you wrote, so it was really fun to read "The Ghost Let Go" on Smashwords--like a childhood dream come true 🙂 Thank you so much for giving Nine and Chris another adventure!

Hi, Lisa -

I'm sorry not to have answered sooner. I just found (to my horror) that gmail had been flagging some guestbook entries as SPAM. I didn't notice it before, because others were coming through. Very distressing!

Anyway, I'm so pleased to know that you found and enjoyed "The Ghost Let Go" It's the only short story I've written about Nine and Chris, and it's one that I'm really fond of. Maybe I should try doing another!

All best,

BC
