I received a neat letter today. A 5th grade boy read my book at the encouragement of his tutor. His tutor was the first principal I worked under as a new teacher many years ago, Mrs. McNeal. First, it was neat to see she is still working with kids. Secondly, it was neat to hear how he was motivated and interested to read my book. I really liked his closing sentence, "Please continue to write more books for boys like me to read." Thank you for the motivation, I will try to do just that.
I also received a packet of letters from students who I presented to in the ASK program with Macomb Intermediate School District. These students read the book at school and then were given an opportunity to ask me questions through a closed circuit TV link. Here are a few fun statements.
"You're one of the reasons I am inspired to write."
"Your story was so good that I want to buy the book myself."
For those following this blog wondering when the next book is coming.... It is close to being sent to my editors, I am just having a bit of writers block on a few small details. I can't provide a timeline at this point, but I can say the story portion is completed. I also have another one nearly done being written that
