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,
How could you write My teacher is an Alien as if you were a young girl in 6th grade so well? It must be so hard. Do you cracking codes if you had the key? I love to.

Hi, Laura -

I'm glad you think that Susan's first person narration in MY TEACHER works so well. I was a teacher for a long time, and I paid very close attention to the kids in my classes. All that observation paid off when it came time to write the book. That's one of the main things a writer must do . . . watch people at all times.
