...is to write to thon care of thon's publisher.  I have started my
correspondence with McCaffrey, Norton, Asimov, and others just that way.
Many authors are very polite in responding to fanmail.  Harlan Ellison
has ignored folk, and sent out a form letter due to time pressures.
Asimov uses postcards, for the same reason. If the author was at a
convention you recently attended, write to them care of the
concommittee.  Publishers are frequently less busy, and may forward your
letter faster.
