Hi John - what a shame we live in different countries. I'd be very happy to treat you to a giant chocolate chip cookie over discussion about star formations and favourite fantasy artwork. If you ever visit the UK, let me know!

John, thanks for your invitation to my daughter for SCBWI in Japan. She is going as part of the JET program - to teach English. She is not writing or illustrating now (except for advising me and revising with me.) I enjoyed looking at your art. How do you like Japan? Anything we should know?
