Homework Policy!!
Please don’t bother emailing Laurie asking for help with your homework. You won’t get it. High school was bad enough for Laurie the first time around, thanks. One of the greatest joys of surviving to adulthood, in her opinion, is the lack of homework.
You’ll find all the personal details about her life you need on the Biography page of this website. As time permits, she’ll be adding on the FAQ to explain motivations behind various books and her writing process.
If you are really smart, you’ll look for information using the Tags function on her LiveJournal. It’s like an index to everything on the blog – there is a lot of juicy stuff there. She will usually answer questions posted to her LiveJournal account. If you use correct spelling and punctuation, the chances that she’ll answer you go way up.
How to get something to Laurie
If you want to write her a letter, you can send it to P.O. Box 906, Mexico, NY 13114. Right now, she is about 500 letters behind in answering her mail. It’s going to be a while before you hear back from her. She sure hopes you understand.
How to get signed books!
If you want Laurie to sign a book you already own, send it to her at P.O. Box 906, Mexico, NY 13114. Be sure to include a self-addressed, stamped envelope (with the correct postage!) if you want it back.
