Hi,
I'm 13 years old and I am from Slovenia. I fall in love with your books first time I read them. You are good writer. When I start reading your books I can not stop😀! If I can ask, how old are you? I am veary happy beacuse you're books are in my language too.
Have a nice day!
Marko

Dear Marko, I’m so pleased that you like my books – and it’s great that they’re in your language; I remember meeting your publishers years ago, and I really liked them.  (Also, congratulations on writing such good Engish!)  Of course you can ask how old I am: I’m 64.  That probably sounds very old, but the weird thing is, it doesn’t feel it.  I just don’t feel that much older than when I started being a published author, in my early forties – although of course I know that in fact, I am.  Isn’t that strange?  The main thing is that I’m still writing.  (And also climbing trees when I feel like it.)  Thanks again for getting in touch – and I hope you continue to enjoy my stories!  With very best wishes, Michelle
