"I have written to anyone I find interesting and so far you are the realest person I know. You have spilled fingernail paint, called your child Shrek, and 'adocted' three kids. I find your story true and entertaining. As your book drew to an end I was sad for the story to end, but happy that I could reread it on my Nook. I want you to know that I will always be a fan of yours for all of the good you have done."
