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!
thanks for the tips on the necromancer fortress description! i altered the "Surrounding wall" phrasings so that it is said only once.
i did think up something for my current story recently, but i'm not sure if the idea is a keeper... or if i should scrap it and think up something else.
my idea is... Lila, one of the youngest of the brotherhood members, would have a specific tower in the brotherhood fortress that she uses for protection whenever the castle is under attack, and this tower has only one way in, and one way out. whenever the brotherhoods second in command tells her to "Get to the tower!" he means that the battle would be too intense for her to be in, and that he wants her to stay safe. also this tower, even though it can be seen if you look at the fortress from the outside, is so much of a secret... that only a few brotherhood members would know how to get in or out.
is this a good idea, or should i think up something else?
Please let me know what you think, and thanks!

Hi, Byron -
Sorry to be (ULP!) two years late in responding to this! Guestbook meltdown and overwhelming work issues caused a lot of stuff to slide.
Hope you are doing well and continuing to write.
Though you are probably long past that now, your idea about the tower sounds pretty cool.
All best,
Bruce
