Someone on the Reading For the Future listserv recommended your Teen Resources webpage. I’d like to make a link to it from my class website, if that’s okay. I read your bio and am intrigued, so I am promising myself a break to read one of your stories after I grade some tests!
Hi Maria. Yes, please feel free to link to my teen writers page. (And that goes for anyone who might be reading this.) I hope you enjoy the fiction.
A short time later I received:
AAAAAAAAHHHHHH I just finished “Save Me Plz”! loved it!!! Curses, now I must hit the bookstore and part with my hard-earned in order to keep you writing!
During the coming days, I’ll be eating my lunches one-handed while continuing to browse your website (that’s how I read today’s material, with microwavable chicken pot pie). I’m looking forward to the media versions as well as the other online stories. Daily treats.
Wow! Thanks! I’m glad you liked the story.
Man, what a cool English teacher. By the way, I just went and checked out the website for Reading for the Future. It’s “a grassroots volunteer organization whose aim is to help young people develop a love of reading and intellectual adventure through the vehicle of science fiction, fantasy, and other speculative fiction.” Sounds good to me.
