Thanks so much for taking the time to send that lovely feedback. I really had fun doing the Eric Vale and Secret Agent Derek Dale series because I got to work with my son Joe who was the illustrator. Sadly those books are out of print now. I’d love to have them re-released. Glad you enjoyed Rodney. There’s also a sequel – Rodney Forgets It – and I have a new picture book coming out on Feb 1st called Robbit the Job-Hopping Frog. Cheers and thanks again for writing. Michael

Hi Michael, I would just like to say I loved your Don’t Call Me Ishmael series and I hope you could recommend a book of yours that is similar. Thank you for your excellent fiction.

Thank you so much for that feedback. So glad you enjoyed the series. If you can get a hold of a copy, The Pain, My Mother, Sir Tiffy Cyber Boy and Me is similar in style to the Ishmael books but with female rather than male narrator. You might also like The Things That Will Not Stand. It’s a more serious book but does have humour in it as well. Cheers Michael

H Michael, I’ve just read Rodney Loses It to my 4 and 7 year old daughters. We laughed so hard at the final line. Will you write a sequel?

Hi Michael,
Darlene Navis from AISGuangzhou, China. First I look back on your visit here working with our MS students, what, three years ago with much appreciation. I can’t believe it’s been that long. We just said goodbye to Laurie Halse Anderson and she made me think of you because you, also connected well with the students and were so easy to host. That leads to my second point… I said I would promote you to my library network and never have until this morning. I’ve posted your info in a couple of threads that I hope give you some opportunities to continue traveling internationally to share your love of writing, reading, and humour!!
All the best, Darlene

Hi Darlene. Lovely to hear from you! It was actually two years ago. I know because I’ve been seeing memory posts about my visit on my Facebook page. Wonderful reminders of a great experience. I’m also facebook friends with Elisa so it’s nice that I see her posts from time to time. Thank you so much for the promotion on your network. I hope you and your family are well and school life is not too busy. I have great memories of my time at AIS Guangzhou and of the kindness and friendship that was shown to me by you and Elisa and the other staff. Cheers Michael.
