The best way to contact me is via email. If you need a response for a report, that’s the fastest way. If you want a snail mail reply, send your address and please, your last name. You can also scan pictures and letters and email them. Just let me know that you want to do that.

If you want to send a snail mail letter, please be aware that it might take awhile to get to me – even months. Make sure you send it to the right publisher (see below) – otherwise it gets delayed further.
(By the way, if you ever want to know where to mail a letter to an author, the address is always inside the book.)
