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.

How did you become a author? Have you wanted to be one since you was a little kid?

Hi, Jimmy -

I knew I wanted to be an author from the time I was a teenager. How did I do it? I studied, and practiced. I wrote and wrote and wrote . . . and a lot of it was very bad. But that's how you learn. Also, I never gave up. You have to be stubborn if you want to make it in this business.
