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.

Hi, L. -

Well, I've been publishing books for about 35 years now, so it makes sense that I would get some messages from older readers. It actually delights me to know that people who are 35 or 40 still remember something of mine from when they were in school. I would be much sadder if they had completely forgotten me! ;>

I was indeed a gravedigger. I didn't have much choice - my grandfather ran the cemetery and he needed me to help him!
