Hi Cynthia, thanks for accepting my invitation. I've got to get my Cynthia on in as many places as possible!

Thanks Cynthia for excepting my invite:)

Hi Cynthia, thanks for adding! Fede.
Comment by Peni Griffin on 3/5/2010 at 7:26 AM:
Hi, famous person. I know somebody on the New York Times Bestseller list - how awesome is that? I also noticed the bit about 2 Indians being on there - and your book isn't even about being Indian! The world progresses in little ways while we're not noticing.
Comment by KaaVonia Hinton on 12/4/2009 at 9:25 AM:
That night was so funny and ironic. When I got back to class, I told my students (They had read Jingle Dancer a few weeks before.) you will not believe who led me down a dark path to safety when I was at NCTE :)They were like, "No Way!"
Comment by Tom Geyer on 7/10/2009 at 8:13 PM:
Hi Cynthia,
I've posted a little of my YA manusript with my profile. If you get a chance to take a peek, I'd love your opinion. I'm sure you're busy and I don't mean to impose, it's just that I hate my day job and I'm so determined to get my writing career under way.
Thanks, Tom

I have just found your blog, it seems I am behind the times here. It is wonderfully informative.

Hi Cynthea,

Just wondering whether you ever received a review copy of my picture book, OTTO GROWS DOWN?
Thanks, & hope you're well--
Michael
Comment by Tracey Baptiste on 4/6/2009 at 10:28 AM:
Hi Cynthia!
Thanks for accepting my invitation.
Looking forward to reading more of your work.
I recently heard (in a writing class) that you delete your writing and begin again from scratch when you're doing your final draft? If true, that's radical. And brave!
Comment by Charles Boone on 2/4/2009 at 10:33 AM:
Hi Cynthia,
I'm new to jacket flap but so glad I found you and your blog. I love it. There is so much information and I feel hopeful just reading it.
Thank you, Charlie

So glad you checked out The Picnic Basket and liked what you saw. As you know, it's all about connecting books with readers - and teachers and librarians are so key to that process. Plus they have so much to say about how they use books with kids. I've heard from so many teachers and librarians (... more

((Smack upside the head)) I just realized we have your book, Rain Is Not My Indian Name in our library. I remember very vividly a young girl borrowing it and me having to hound her to return it. :-)
Comment by LaTonya Baldwin on 10/30/2007 at 11:20 AM:
Thrilled to see your interview with Pooja Makhijani. My young neighbor is named Pooja. Will have to check out the book. Thanks,

I'll gladly do an "update" interview. : ) Thanks. Villainology is coming out this Fall, I'm looking forward to that. Those books are so much fun to write, I really shouldn't accept money for them...
Comment by Arthur Slade on 6/3/2007 at 11:27 AM:
Oh, I so have Tantalize on my TBR list soon. Soon. Soon. Summer can't come fast enough.

You'll definitely get no argument from me there. :) My absolute fav book of hers is Princess Nevermore. Cam's Quest is next in line, along with the Kaley series, Monster series, and I love My Zombie Valentine.

Comment by Annie Donwerth Chikamatsu on 4/23/2007 at 10:06 AM:
You asked about comfortable shoes in your last blog post, but I couldn't leave a message there.
You were in the right place---San Antonio Shoe Company makes really comfortable shoes. They used to have some nice sandals, too. There may be a store in Austin. There was one in Dallas many years ago... more
Comment by Ashley Pasco on 4/19/2007 at 2:05 PM:
