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.

I found you by looking up when Nancy Drew and the secret of the old clock was made and one of your books was listed under similar books. I went to your website and I couldn't find your first book to read. can you please add "from oldest" in how you want the books listed part?
Sorry if is sounded kind of confusing:-)

Hi, Sophia -
That's an interesting idea. I've been writing for 40 years now, and many of the earlier books are no longer in print (though most are now available as e-books).
My first three books were THE FOOLISH GIANT, SARAH'S UNICORN, and THE MONSTER'S RING. The first two of those are picture books. MONSTER'S RING is my first published novel, and it is still in print.
The books that would be most like Nancy Drew would be the three Nina Tanleven stories: THE GHOST IN THE THIRD ROW, THE GHOST WORE GRAY, and THE GHOST IN THE BIG BRASS BED. They are no longer in print, but you can get them as ebooks, or buy used copies on Amazon.
Happy Reading!
