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 am in the middle of reading "Dark Whispers", and it has been really good so far. I loved the first two books also. I got freaked out a bit in a few places, but it's been good in the rest of the book.
I read "Always October" last July when I did the review for the SFBR's kid section...THAT was really scary. But I loved it!
I think the Unicorn Chronicles are better for me because I'm only 7yo and I love unicorns. I'm also liking the man's journey to free his wife. I can't wait to find out how it all ends!
By the way, you write some really weird books, but it's weird in a cool way. My dad's from Syracuse, too, and he says that lots of weirdness comes from Syracuse. 😛

Hi, Murphy -
You're probably going to be surprised to get this message after all this time! (I hope it makes its way through to you.) The guestbook got out of control (more messages than I had time) and then it broke for a while.
I'm still trying to catch up.
You are clearly a sophisticated reader and writer, and I was delighted by your response to my stories. Glad to know you enjoyed ALWAYS OCTOBER. It was a tough one to write, but I think its one of my best. Alas, the publisher didn't promote it very well, so it hasn't found the audience I had hoped for.
I take pride in my weirdness. Maybe it's a Syracuse thing . . . (Please give your dad my regards.)
All best,
BC
