Why I Write

This made my day and reminded me why I write...

From an Amazon Customer Review of Into the Wild posted yesterday:

Me and my dad had a great time reading this book. Although I'm only eight, my dad is REALLY old, so he qualifies to help me with this review! I love stories about mysteries, and I thought Puss 'n Boots was really funny.

My dad and I read this over a couple of weeks, a little bit every night. My favorite part was when Julie was a princess, and they had the test. That was really funny.

I think you did a great job, this being your first book and all. I also liked the part when the wild escaped. Another part is when she met her dad. I liked when her bike came alive, too.

We live in Shrewsbury, next to Northboro. I liked when Spag's was the wizard's house, the ogre's castle was Higgins Armory. I liked it when you used places that I knew in your book. Keep up the good work!

Pam and her Dad

Thank you so much, Pam. (And your dad too!) You made me so happy and inspired me to get lots of great writing done last night. I was still going strong at 3am when my husband reminded me that we had to get up in four hours and finally dragged me to bed.
