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, Margaret -
Thank you for this. My wife (who did the art) and I had so much fun creating the MOONGOBBLE AND ME books. In my career of over 100 books I think this was one of my most enjoyable projects. So it delights me to know that you enjoyed them, too.
All best,
BC

Hi, Kenia -
Do I believe the world is going to end? Well, probably sometime it will end, some millions or billions of years from now. But in the short term? No, I don't think so.
Am I ever grumpy? Well, if I told you that my license plate is MRCRANKY (really! I'm not kidding!) would that answer the question.
Of course, you have to consider the fact that it was my children who gave it to me...
Delighted to know that you like my books, especially that you like JULIET DOVE, as I think it is one of my very best, but it never got much attention.

I love the Unicorn Chronicles! They are one of my favorite series I've ever read. However, I can not find them anywhere with the same binding; some I find in paperback, others in hardback. The first book I can't even buy really anywhere. Your website specifically for the Chronicles is not updated, so I can't buy them from there either. Please, is there anyway I can find a way to buy the books as a set? I really want to have them so I can read them with no limit. Please email me if you have the time; it would be greatly appreciated. I'm sorry if I shouldn't have signed here, but I didn't know how else to contact you about getting your fabulous books.

Hi, Julia -
Oh, I understand your frustration! I pleaded with Scholastic to release a uniform edition of the Chronicles, especially as they had four covers all by the same artist. But they refused to reissued Books One and Two in hardcover, and have not yet released Book Four in paperback. It's slightly maddening. Publishers . . . can't live without them, can't cook them for breakfast. Sigh.
You can buy all four with covers by the same artist. But you can't get all four in the same format (hardcover or paperback) at this time.
Feel free to write to Scholastic and complain!
I am truly, deeply pleased that you care about this. Thank you for taking the time to write.

Hi, Madalynn - Thank you for this. Saying that I got you started on reading is about the highest compliment that I can get as a writer. It makes me very happy to know this.

Hey Bruce. My brother got me a mini kindle for Christmas so once I finally got it working I downloaded "The Boy With Silver Eyes" and "Homeward Bound". I'm very excited to start reading them.
Happy Holidays!

Hi back atcha!
I was taking a trip down memory lane today, thinking about my love of books and the writers that inspired my love of the written word, and I ended up here. I just wanted to thank you for all the inspiration and tell you how much your books will always mean to me. When I have kids, they will most definitely be raised on your work. <3

Hi, Khody -
Thanks for still remembering me. I love the thought of being a two-generation author!
Some of my very favorite memories of raising my children have to do with the times I spent reading to them. It delights me to think that you will be sharing some of my stories with your own children in the same way. Thanks for stopping by to tell me that.
