Remember how I moved up here because I love ice and snow? I’ll be crawling inside the freezer shortly. This will be the third day with sticky temperatures in the 90s. Ack. I hate heat. Ack. Ack. Ack.
I have a couple of freshly-chilled links to distract you, if you are sticking to your chair the way I am sticking to mine this morning.
My local newspaper, the Post Standard, has a nice article about our upcoming half-marathon and how I became a runner. You can see photos of BH and I running, plus additional bits from the interview on Shelf Life , the newspaper’s book blog.(Yes, I am very proud to live in a region where the newspaper has a reporter who covers books AND a book blog!)
Richie Partington has written a wonderful and moving review of CHAINS.
The Mad Woman in the Forest Writing Challenge starts July 1. If you’ll be joining us, it’s time to sharpen your pencils. In preparation, I’m going to recommend you check out a few books about the business of writing and the artistic process. If you want to publish a book for kids or teenagers, I really think you should buy Harold Underdown’s Idiot’s Guide to Publishing Children’s Books, 3rd Edition. Seriously. You’ll read it until the covers fall off.
Office Mouse got the camera talking to the computer yesterday! (I am still learning how to size the photos correctly. Another obvious fact.) What do you want me to put on a video?
Here is the Creature With Fangs all dressed up for our anniversary last week.
Oh! And I can show you
The lovely Erika Davis, owner of Creekside Books in Skaneateles.
Line of readers!
Bethy, came out, too! That’s her (the tiny one), her husband, their son, and me. Bethy and I were best friends when we were little kids.
Random shot of me in the garden a few weeks ago. Such glamor and sophistication.
