Want a signed, personalized copy of one of my books? Contact my neighborhood book store, Annie Bloom's Books at 503-246-0053, and tell them what you want - signature only or a personalized greeting to a particular person. They will contact me and I will come in to sign them.
How to contact me
Many teachers want their students to learn how to write a "real letter." While this is a wonderful thing, I do not give out my home address.
I also don't have a PO box. I can be on the road for weeks at a time - and thus not at home to read or respond to your letters. I've also been forced to do the math as the amount of fan mail I get has increased. Replying by post requires stamps, paper, envelopes, and toner. (Not to mention the fact that my handwriting is so bad that a recent birthday card I sent to my agent in June did not arrive until February of the following year.)
For all those reasons, I'm email-only these days. On the plus side, email is fairly quick.
If you want to send me a note and you expect a reply, email me (address listed below) or use the form below, and I will write back, I promise. Oh, and if your teacher asks you to write a "real letter," just format it like one, email it, and I promise I will do the same in my reply.
