Try Reading This Fan Letter Without Smiling
Some of my most fun fan letters have come from younger readers. This one is particularly young to be tackling one of my books. You can't read the letter without smiling. I'm running it here as is--no spelling/grammatical fixes. I have blocked out certain plot details, using underlining in their place.

Dear Mrs. Collins,
I am a big fan of you wrightings, I am currently reading your book Eyes of Elisha. Well you will prob. laugh when you read this but, thats the only book of yours I read! But from that one book I am a huge fan! The reason I picked up your book because it had a nice cover with a knife which makes me whant to know whats going to happen! It is very well written! I have no idea if __________ or what!! It is very suspencful and makes me want to know what happens next.... ________ what side to believe. Im at the part where ____________.... Im not geting mixed up with ______... But I love that book. There are very few books that when i read and want to finish it that I do finish it, but this one i am 100% sure i will finish it! Where do you get these ideas of these books? Do you enjoy writing murder mistories? Keep it up with your Crime novels! I go to a Christian school and we have your whole series! Im going to start reading all of them! Thanks soooo much again! :) Ok well I got to go..... Thanks for writing these books!
Sincerly,

How great is that for an endorsement?!
That's so cute :) It must be one of the most rewarding things as an author to get letters like that.
THat is adorable!
You'll have to send her a copy of the first Rayne book : )
That is so sweet. I bet you that just made your day. Eyes of Alisha was my first book from you that I had read and I have been reading everything you write since.
awesome :-)
I failed, Brandilyn! I tried reading it without smiling, but just couldn't do it. :-)
Very cute!
Oh Brandilyn! This is beautiful! And her school has the whole series! Wow! Praising God right along with you. :-)
Ah, murder mistories... I love that.
Hey, I loved Eyes of Elisha, too! Looks like another lifelong fan.
That is so precious! Grab them when they are young! And a child that writes without internet shorthand...now that is rare in itself :-)
Aw, how sweet is that?! Who knows, maybe you've planted a muse-seed in this little one! Awesome!
All the same sentiments of adult readers with just a few creative spellings. So adorable.
How sweet! Congratulations on hooking a young reader on your excellent mistories!
