Tom gets lots of correspondence from kids all over the world who enjoy the Stick Dog and Stick Cat series.  And he always writes back.  But there’s one super-fan named Maria who has written him a few times and closes her letters with ‘Please write back!  I have an important question to ask you!’  Well, Maria, I hope you look at this blog sometime ... (this is really just a personal message for Maria).  I have tried to write you back several times, but the e-mail address you’re sending from keeps bouncing back to me!  So, I don’t want to let an important message go unanswered .... so try to send your e-mail to me from another address okay??!?!?!?!?!
