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.

Wow! You are a great writer, Bruce! I have read all of your books because of my teacher. She is a huge fan of your books.
I wonder if you have been to the 2013 Tucson Festival of Books. It is quite famous, you know. I am sure you've heard of it before.
Thanks,
Jane

Hi, Brendan -
I visit schools all the time - in fact I often have more invitations than I can handle. It would be fun to come to your school because I know a lot of you have read the books. Maybe your librarian or principal can work something out.
"Fangs" for the compliments! ;>

well that sucks that....but how much would it cost for you to travel to different schools cause in our afterschool program we have the funds for a guest speaker. I'm in the process of writing a proposal to our principal to have a guest speaker. Thank-you for your advice on how to start or write a book.

Hi, Megan -
I don't post my fees online, but if your principal or librarian wants to contact me about coming, there is information on my website. To be honest, I'm fairly expensive . . . that's partly because heading out for a speaking engagement means not being at my desk writing. It's a trade off. Also, I do three high energy presentations when I am in a school.
