I wish you could come to my school but we dont have many YA readers thay are all into little kids books also you should make a account at http://www.thereadingroom.com and look up RRR98
Are u talking about Wollongong in NSW, near Maitland. If so, I agree. Soz, didn’t mean to offend you/anyone. Just wanted to check.
you should come to Des Moines, Iowa. Just a suggestion?
you know you are a very different from other authors, you actually respond to questions, so thanks for the reply.
P.S. LOVE YOUR BOOKS!!!!!!! you writting is very different from any book that i have read in a while, you have topped all of my fav. books. =]
are you going to be tour in the uk soon
PLEASE come to the north west of England like Preston! Bath and London Piccadily are so far away and I’m a huge fan and I am scared of traveling plus North West England has better food, manchester united liverpool and trafford centre
i would love to, but Bloomsbury chooses where to send me…
Tell them to send you to Virginia. you have lots of fans there. I force my friends to read your books and now they like them as much as I do.
if you ever come to brooklyn, NY this year pllzz visit ditmas i.s. 62
are you going to omaha (nebraska) or somewhere close cus i love your work
Hey, i was wondering if you have any tours in or close to Michgan?
Nothing in the works yet, I don’t choose my tour stops, they are set up by the publisher. Dates and cities will be posted here though, as soon as they are available.
I live in Okinawa, Japan, and NO ONE ever comes here. It would be cool if you could come here! Me and my friends LOVE the Drake Chronicles!!
thats cool that you live in Japan
Yeah it’s pretty awesome. Except, and I am saying this again, no one good EVER comes here. Linkin park and Bowling For Soup came here, and that’s about it. And I can’t believe the 4th book is finally out!! I hope it gets here before next Christmas…
(For the record, I am NOT Japanese.)
