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, Hannah =

I had two brothers and one sister. Not a big family, not a small family, sort of just right. As a parent myself I have two sons and a daughter. Not a big family, not a small family, sort of just right.

Interesting that you are in sixth grade, as it was my own 6th grade teacher who first got me really interested in writing. Her name was Mrs. Crandall, and I dedicated MY TEACHER IS AN ALIEN to her because of how much she meant to me.

Good luck with your report. Make sure you read the biography on the webpage.

All best,

BC
