My 4th grade class and I have been reading Skeleton Creek. My students are in LOVE with your series. Many of my students who are not interested in reading have been asking me to read. I noticed that you do Skype chats. I was wondering if you had time to Skype with my students? We are in Lutz, Florida.

I’ve started Skeleton Creek with my grade 5 class (24 kids). I’ve read the book to a similar class to students last year and happy to report similar results: the students are simply eating this up. Hats off to you.

In the event you are back to Skyping classes, we’d love to connect with you.

My students are big fans of yours. To promote 21st-century learning skills, I would like to set up a Skyping session with you. I found your name on a list of authors who Skype in Library Journal. Also, Mary Brown at the Book, Bytes, and Beyond bookstore recommended you. Mrs. Brown said you are an “excellent speaker.”

Would you be willing to participate in a Skyping session with my seventh graders before the end of our school year? Our last day of school is June 20. Our school is not in session this week, so I am sending you this e-mail from my home e-mail address.

My grade 6 class and I have been reading Skeleton Creek. I noticed that you do Skype chats. I was wondering if you had time to Skype with my kids? We are in Fergus, Ontario.

Unfortunately I’ve stopped doing them for right now – too busy writing! Keep an eye on the site, I hope to start doing them again at some point. PC

My name is Sara Havens. I am the Media Specialist at Eastside elementary in Greenbrier, Arkansas. I have kg-5th grade students. I have viewed your virtual tours video and am also looking into beginning to Skype. I have purchased my webcam and have a Skype account. I have told my students (4th and 5th) about possibly getting to visit with you, and needless to say they are so excited. I would love to schedule something for this school year if at all possible. Also, please let me know what fees would be included as I’m working with a pretty small budget of course! :o ( Many of my 4th and 5th graders have read and are reading your Skeleton Creek books at the present and can’t wait to meet you. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!

Last year you Skyped with my 7th grade students and we loved it! You introduced us to and got us excited about the 3:15 stories as well as you full length novels. I have a whole new group of students and they are also loving your work. When I introduced the 3:15 stories and stated the book versions would be available the following morning first come first serve, there was a lot of excitement. HOWEVER, when I saw some young men walking quickly (because they weren’t allowed to run) down the hallway right as the 7:30 bell rang I knew I needed to see if you would be willing Skype again with us. Will you??????????

They loved it!!! I would use the book to bribe them to get their work done! We just started Skeleton Creek today with my new group. They can’t wait to read!! I would love to be able to tell my students that we could skype with you! I have two different groups from 8:30-12:30 (central time zone). Thank you for getting kids excited about reading! I look forward to hear from you.
