Please do not send anything requiring an immediate response to this address!  E-mail is the best way to reach me for conference and school visit requests.  Also, if you are writing me from school, it is probably best if you include your <i>home address</i> or at least your teacher's name for a response.  I often receive letters, written in April or May from school, which do not reach me until after school is out. 

The best and fastest way to reach me is to e-mail me at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it   If you are e-mailing from a school or library and do not hear back from me within one week, please try again.  AOL's SPAM blockers do odd things sometimes.
