Hi,

Thanks so much for your response! I didn’t know if we’d get a reply from you so that’s pretty neat! My students were excited when I shared your note with them. They were delighted that you liked some of their ideas!

I did NOT in fact know that you wrote I Want To Go Home when you were 15… That’s incredible! I understand what you mean about not being in the “Rudy Miller mode,” but I do hope though (as my students also do) that someday later, even if you are very, very old, you will get back into that mode and write a second book about Rudy’s (or Jeffrey’s) adventures.

For now, we will kindly and understandingly accept your “maybe” and simply keep hoping that your “maybe” turns into a “yes”!

Thanks again,

Martha Mahtani

P.S. Wow – 106 titles! That’s quite impressive! Maybe we will reach out sometime to ask you to come speak at our school and perhaps do a few book commercials on some of the texts you’ve written. I’ll get to work on having these kids read more of your work in the meantime!
