Hello, fourth and fifth graders!

Reading Madame Olga's ghost storyI had a great time meeting you. I spoke to you about the types of books I write and how my ideas come from my childhood experiences. I read you Madame Olga's ghost story from my novel The Very Real Ghost Book of Christina Rose. You can read all of Chapter One here. You can also read a story that Madame Olga's son (Roberto) tells (his ghost story is here). If you like ghost stories, you can find even more on my site at this link--they are in the Haunted House

I also read you some of my favorite mummy stories. Here are some others: The Loneliest Mummy--a sad mummy story about the stolen mummy of a 15 year-old girl who is still displayed at a California museum; The honey mummy from Egypt!The Curse of King Tut's Tomb--a factual look at a misleading story created by the rumors and the media; The Unlucky Mummy of the Titanic--a retelling of the legend, followed by the real facts of the case; and The Mummy's Eyes--a ghost story of sorts, said to be true...as are a lot of untrue things. Don't read this one alone at night!

You asked good questions and had even more when time was up. If you have any more questions or just want to say hi, you can e-mail me here. I hope you enjoyed yourself as much as I did. 

Thank you to everyone who made my day so wonderful, especially Mrs. Osso, your excellent librarian.

Keep on reading and writing!!
