Thank You to Pam Conrad

Dear Ms. Conrad,

I was in elementary school when I first read your book Stonewords: A Ghost Story. I think I can safely say that you were the first author who inspired me to want to write. I can also safely say that your book inspired my first book Cursed With a Knife, which I wrote in 3rd or 4th grade and was just as awesome as it sounds.

Your descriptions were so beautiful that they've stayed with me all these years. When I think of certain lines in your book I get that wrapped-in-a-towel-fresh-out-of-the-dryer feeling. Even today they fill me with awe, not having lost any of their luster over the last 20 years.

Thank you so much.

Best wishes,
Pam
