This morning I was walking Elizabeth to the bus when a little girl chased me down to say, “I colored my bunny!”
I was about to nod politely in the way you do when children say random things, when she unzipped her backpack to show me my own character, Mel, delightfully rainbow’d and eyelash’d. Obviously this child hadattended my author visit the day before for Dust Bunnies: Secret Agents.

I am a huge fan of Chevalier, and was surprised when the topics of my books and hers suddenly collided with an unexpected miscarriage in this story. I confess, though, that I found that part of the story, as well as many other supernatural and coincid...more |

“What horror to face, to choose the moment of your child’s death, to see the machines whir to a stop, the monitors to beep, the line of the heartbeat to go flat. No one really recovers from that. It must be easier to harden your heart, close the recesses of pain, and live life more simply and with calm deliberation.”

So they’re all together—Stella your pair, Melinda’s, and mine. Right now, they’re up there, singing maybe, or playing Red Rover, and probably laughing at us sitting around trying to fix a mess we ourselves made.”
