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.

Dear Bruce,
Jeremy Thatcher is our favorite book! How were you inspired to write it? You should write a sequel. What book will you write next? Do you have a title for it? What was your favorite book when you were a kid? We want to Read the Alien Series. What is your favorite thing about being an author? Also, how old were you when you wrote your first book?
From,
Cage, Joven, and Warren

Hi, Cage, Joven, and Warren -
Glad JEREMY is at the top of your list! Believe it or not, I actually meant this to be a short story. But once I started writing the things that happened to Jeremy and Tiamat kept getting bigger . . . and bigger . . . and BIGGER! (Sort of like Tiamat herself, now that I think of it.)
I had a lot of favorite books when I was a kid (I was a kid for a long time). One was THE VOYAGES OF DR. DOLITTLE.
I wrote my first book between the ages of 17 and 19, but it wasn't very good. My first book that was good enough to get published I wrote when I was 25.
Keep readin'!
