Speaking to a class of 5th graders via Skype

Comment:

We are starting to read Shiloh on Monday in a 5th grade class. Would you be available to speak to the class about writing this book and why?

Also, I was excited to see that you were born in Anderson. I grew up in Selma, IN.

I’d delighted to hear from another Hoosier.  I’m so sorry, but I’m not set up for Skype, and I just get too many requests to do this, if I was.  I’m deep into writing another novel, and need to spend every spare moment on that.
