From my Mail

Here are some lines from the mail I answered today that made me smile or touched me.

Just because someone might not act like other people or some people might categorize them as ‘abnormal’ doesn’t mean that you have to go along with it and do the same.--Courtney

Do you have any brothers or sisters? Are you married? If so, do you have kids? --Kaylea

In Hot Rod Hamster, I would chose the rust car, because I like rust. It is red and red is my favorite color. --John

My autistic brother loves to color, run around, build blocks and Legos, watch TV, be tickled, and laugh, but most of all, he likes to eat chicken nuggets and cookies. He is very smart, but he still doesn't talk. --Olivia

I would recommend Rules to my brother, because he often makes fun of me. --Joseph

I liked the scene where Catherine was pushing Jason around the parking lot. It shows that even little things you do can make a difference. --Madeline

I know where it matters, we’re all the same. --Sara

I cried more than once reading Touch Blue and was so anxious to learn more and more about each and every character. On my second read, I noticed how figuratively you write. I'm avidly awaiting another adventure. --Jessica

I really enjoy reading Realistic Fiction and I play as much baseball as I possibly can. --Gus

You don't have to answer this question, but has fame and fortune given you anything? --Shoshana
