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.

Are you ever stuck? Do you ever run out of things to write? In your previous books, have you ever wanted to stop and quit writing about whatever you were writing about?
Which book that you wrote is your favorite? Why? If you could switch characters with a person in one of your stories, who would it be? Do you prefer long stories or short stories?

Hi, Grace -

Oh, gosh . . . too many questions to answer here. Sure, I get stuck sometimes. I think every writer does. The thing to do is just keep pressing on. And take walks. (WAlks are good for thinking . . .)

I prefer writing long stories, as that seems to be the way my brain works. Short stories are much harder for me!
