A Smile For The Morning

When I wake up in the morning, there are 3 things that always, hands down, make me smile.

1) Opening my bedroom blinds to see sunshine outside
2) My grouchy dog stealthily crawling up on my bed to snuggle
3) Fan letters in my inbox

Here's one of those:

hi. i live in australia. i love your books the specialists. i am 11. i turned that on september the seventh. i want to be a writer. i love writing but because i live in such a small town that when i try and sell them people only buy them because they know me. i get really annoyed at that. i love your books i am almost hungry for them.. i would love to get an email back if you are not too busy. thankyou for reading.

(i shaved my head for. cancer, now thats a story to tell)
