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.

Hello,
My name is Fatemah and I'm from Kuwait. I don't know how to say this, but was too shy to contact you in writing an email to you before, before as in a long time ago maybe ... 2009 or 2010... anyways I don't know what was wrong with me fearing that I might get a negative feedback but lol although still loved your book "Juliet Dove, Queen of Love", I was going through depression after highschool, reading the book put me in shock, ( sorry don't mean to spoil alert here trying not to lol )because the main character's *personality* was actually like mine which I had to go through even during friendship and love... ( except for the personal friendship abandonment lol ) pretty much helped me stay positive and yeah now I'm a college student. I also wanted to tell you while I was at the hair salon, my friend whose working there was sad that the television is'nt working and she's bored hoping to get busy with another customer, I then remembered the story books I have o it could help her be entertained instead of boredom, I was searching through the boxes and then found (Juliet Dove, Queen of Love, lord of thousand nights, the art of war, ect) lol then handed them over to her, she was excited ( over " why women are crazy & men are stupid " ) lol she liked the others too hmmm, opening your book and tried to remember your name as I went home writing this lol sorry been busy lately I have to go and would love to hear your response ^^

Dear Fatemah -
I'm so sorry you didn't write to me the first time you felt the urge. You really must have been as shy as Juliet back then! On the other hand, it delights me to know that, even now that you are in college, you have fond memories of the book.
I got a kick out of the hair salon story.
Hope your years in college are filled with fun and friendship!
