I get the best letters! It always amazes me when someone gets "into" one of my stories. When you write to me about one of my stories I feel honored, humbled and excited. I like to get letters by email because I can try to answer right away on the web site.

If you would like to email me, my email is akiak3@ yahoo.com. It will help me spot your email if you include "letters" in your subject heading.

I thought you might like to see the kind of things that people write to me about, so here you go. This is YOUR page.
