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.

Hi, Tracy -

Ah, I understand what you are talking about now. So, here's the first thing you need to know: both of those titles are short stories set in the world of the Unicorn Chronicles. Both actually are available in print, as part of larger collections. You can find "The Guardian of Memory" in the anthology A GLORY OF UNICORNS. "The Boy With Silver Eyes" is to be found in my solo collection ODDEST OF ALL.

A side note: I wrote "Silver Eyes" as a piece to perform with the Syracuse Symphony. I read the story while they played music from the orchestral repertoire to enhance the emotional impact. It was a blast!
