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.

You are my idol. I love your books! They are the best. I am reading the Unicorn Chronicles currently and I love them. Is there any chance you can give me any tips? At my school me and my friend are combining our stories together. How did you get started with your writing career?
Cheers,
Olivia

Hi, Olivia -

Oh, jeepers - you didn't list your email address so I'm not sure if you will ever see this, since I am kind of behind in answering. (Email addresses never display in the guestbook - they are just so we can notify you that I have sent a response.)

Anyway, I'm thrilled that you love my books, and especially that you are loving the Unicorn Chronicles.

If you look on the website, you will find a tab for WRITING TIPS, that will take you to my best advice.

I got started by writing, writing, writing and then sending things out for years and years (those were long and sometimes painful years) until an editor finally took a chance on me!
