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.

Dear Bruce,
Do you have any siblings? I do! My sister is Julie who also wrote to you. If you do, how many? I have 2. If you don't would you like one? If you have some are you the youngest or the oldest or the middle? I'm the middle child. I have 2 sisters one older and 1 younger. People say I talk too much and that I am a chatterbox. Is it bad if someone talks a lot?
Sincerley,
Grace
(I asked my friend if I talked a lot. She said I talk VERY Very Very Very Very Very Very Very much)

Hi, Grace -

I have two brothers and one sister. I am the oldest of the lot. My little sister is a chatterbox, too. Talking a lot is not a bad thing IF you are aware of the person you are talking to. Some chatterboxes do not take cues, do not realize when the other person has had enough. Conversation should be a two way street.
