I just got a random email from someone saying they love reading my books and I am one of their favourite authors ever.

I figured it was just a spam email since I get them frequently - usually wanting to sell me something - and its too my author outlook email which is advertised in the books and on my twitter profile, etc.

Check the email address and it's from an education email address - so the ones they give assign to kids at school.

Could still be a bored student taking the piss, but I choose to believe I just got my first ever fan e-mail.

Right!

I'd love to say thank you but the way the world is, it probably isn't a good idea.

Thank the kid via a return compliment to the schools contact email address?

It didn't say the school - email address was like a state wide one - but worked out a solution that will hopefully work.
