“Dear Ms. Chilton,
I would just like to thank you for coming to my school. What I liked best about your visit was that you read a chapter of your upcoming sequel to The Haunting on Devil’s Den Road to us. I can’t wait until it hits the shelves everywhere. Now, I have some compliments on The Haunting on Devil’s Den Road. It was marvelous, breathtaking, heartstopping and suspenseful. It also had a dash of comedy here and there. I can’t wait to see what you dish up next.”
Sincerely, Dylan C. - Rehoboth, MA
