I feel offended that you said none of your students think your cool, kidding! I miss you Walton! I'm reading your book and I love it, I rushed towards it once I saw it in the library at my new school! Also meaning I knocked a book down whilst getting it.

I just added your story to my library and can I just say that chocolate and writing are my passion :) it's really nice to see an author being so open and nice.....(I'm like really weird so ya :)). Anyway, if you have any writing tips or any uneaten chocolates then I'd be more than happy to receive them.

your cover for The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender is gorgeous! I really want to read the story, too. It sounds great. But I have to ask, who made your cover?! O:

The very talented Matt Roeser at Candlewick Press was the art designer. Isn't it gorgeous? He did such a fantastic job!
