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.

Hey, Bruce--
I stumbled back on to your site by a random twist of chance, recalling that I used to spend a lot of time here. Looking back to my guestbook entries 3-4 years ago, I may have gotten a bit emotional thinking about how much you inspired and influenced me to write and read back then.
Now, I'm no longer the same silly little girl who took up your time years ago, but I am still a writer, and certainly still a reader. I believe that you were definitely a prime mover in me pursuing my literary hobbies.
Keep on keeping on. You're an inspiration.
Cheers!

Hi, Emma -
Nice to hear from you again. But I want to firmly correct you on one point: you were not a "silly" little girl back then. You were a girl. Period. Nothing silly about it. One of the joys and beauties of young girls is their excitement and emotional involvement in the things that speak to their hearts. Nothing silly about it.
I am very happy to know that you are still a writer, and a reader. And very grateful to know that I was a part of that.
I promise to keep on keeping on. . . if you will promise to keep growing and changing, but to never let go of that beautiful little girl inside!
All best,
BC
