I am totally not kidding you. Go away, if you have not seen the movie. Truly, SCRAM. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR YOU HERE.
Okay, are all you people gone? Are we now left with only those who have seen STID?
GREAT.
Now, if any of you remaining have seen STID but NOT Star Trek II: The Wrath...

“I am going to die, her brain recited calmly. I am going to be stabbed until I am died. How infuriating. I have so much left to do.”

“But how can she change a person like that? said Victoria.
She just can. I'd never have thought before, ever, that I could hate music and want to leave it behind, but now--
Lawrence Prewitt, said Victoria. Her voice was shaking, but she stood up and put on such a fierce dazzle that even Donovan seemed to wake up. Don't you dare ever start talking like that again, or when I get out of here, I'll leave you behind with the gofers. Lawrence smiled. I've missed your threats, Vicky.”

Thank you for accepting the friend invite Ms. Legrand. I have to say that some of your influences are some of my favorite authors of all time. I especially love Madeline L'Engle, Neil Gaiman, and Ray Bradbury.

So good to meet you, Kaye! And thank you for the kind words re: my books! I so hope you enjoy them!
Good luck with your librarian degree and your writing! *FIST BUMP OF LIBRARIAN POWAHHH*
P.S. I'm a fan of babbling, so never fear!
Wow, I didn't even realize you accepted the friendvite until now, so thank you and yay for the honor! :) I'm a MLS student hopeful + aspiring author, so you're inspiring me on both counts!I am so excited for all three of your titles - just started the "pestering", in Wendy's words, by sending a request for The Cavendish Home just now.
Thanks again (and I hope I haven't scared you off with all my babble)...

P.S. Middle grade books just might be my favorite. No lie.
Claire! Thanks so much for the friendvite. I somehow missed the announcement for your second and third titles--congratulations! I love the sound of them. Looks like S&S Kids is going to get pretty sick of me pestering them for Claire Legrand titles. ;)Glad to be in touch here--it's great to snoop the shelves of friends who actually read *gasp* middle grade fiction.
