Hey E.R. Murray! I saw you in Waterstones today and it was an amazing experience. Honestly, you are so kind and sweet. I am thinking about buying your books, the sneak peek was so interesting I want to read more! Your dog is so cute 🙂 Thank you for making that possible.

Hi ER Murray. Well I wanted to send you a letter because I have been reading your series but i don’t really know how yet. You were at my school this week in Clare but I was sick and didn’t get a chance to see you. If you could show me somewhere I could send you the letter I would be more than grateful.
