Betsy, tell James that he must to see Glauber Rocha's movies, he gonna love it. It's everything about Jamie's photos and his short films. I'm pretty sure about that! And congrats about your play. I loved the book, I hope someone translate to brazilian kids! Kisses

I found your site in search of light and by chance, As I'm an aspiring writer, poet, and artists. Can I just say by looking at your work I felt sort of at home. The covers to your books seemed like footsteps. My mother died 8 years ago and I would love for you to read http://journeyofthepeacefulsun.blogspot.com/2010/10/fairytale-storybook.html I have so much to learn about my talents as I'm taking Creative Writing at our College in Lafayette, LA. Anyway thank you for being a Becon of Hope I appreciate you Ms. Franco

All of us on the Greenlight Film Festival, held in Palo Alto, would like to ask your help with next year's festival. It's for film director, actor or producer "wannabe's".

Happy (late) congratulations!!!!! I was there! It was awesome! I know this isn't the right place to tell you this, but I just wanted to say that there was been some speculations of a Facebook account named James Franco. All the students at Paly are getting really excited to be Facebook friends with him. I know I don't have much purpose and enforcement because I am just one soon to be graduated senior at Paly, but I feel that the account is a complete fake - pictures from the internet are there - and I wanted you, his mom, to verify with James Franco that it IS actually him. If not, some legal action would be nice. Once again, I might not have a huge purpose on this problem, but something small like this bothers me and has a great deal on me. I hope all is well. I'm looking forward towards your next books! Signed, Laur
