Hey Daniel, I’m writing to let you know I love you. (I’m not a stalker, just a delicately balanced librarian.) I think that you are one of the most underrated authors of my lifetime. Maybe one day you will get the recognition you so richly deserve. Until then, I wanted to let you know that there is someone out there devouring your books and making sure that kids far and wide have the pleasure of reading your stories.

I like being an underrated author. It is so much better than being an overrated author, there's no comparison. And better even than being an underrated author is to be a delicately balanced librarian. I love you too.
