I’m home from another tour (this one to support the paperback publication of Ginny Moon), and had a particularly great time this time out because in addition to visiting bookstores in several major cities, I went into several public schools as well. It was like being a teacher all over again. I got to talk with kids about the writing process, and creativity. Some pictures follow – my favorite is the drawing that one of the kids in Denver gave me after our talk!

July 23, 2018 at 8:22 pmI just finished reading Ginny Moon…It was touching,disturbing,and thrilling all at at the same time. This book really gave me a window into a unique mind. I have an autistic nephew and the way you portrayed the concrete,linear thinking was so spot on! This book is a great lesson in true empathy: understanding how someone autistic has a distinct logic and thought pattern!

December 4, 2021 at 3:42 pmHello Mr. Ludwig….thank you for your wonderful writing in Ginny Moon. I could hardly put it down and I read it with my heart in my mouth, tears in my eyes, breathless at times worry about Ginny. I kept wanting people to ask Ginny better questions. I am so grateful she found her voice in the end – my heart couldn’t stand anything less for her.
This is a beautiful, amazing story. Thank you!
