Say NO to Censorship and YES to Judy Blume

National Coalition Against Censorship Salutes Judy Blume :

Some people may have difficulty finding humor in the issue of censorship. Thankfully, celebrated author Judy Blume isn't one of them. Nor were the many actors, comedians, authors, and supporters who gathered on Monday evening for “A Night of Comedy with Judy Blume & Friends.” Presented by the National Coalition Against Censorship, the event was both a celebration of the Coalition's 35th anniversary, as well as an opportunity to honor ...

Recommended Reads - Meridian & Zombie Haiku

Synopsis

Half-human, half-angel, Meridian Sozu has a dark responsibility.

Sixteen-year-old Meridian has been surrounded by death ever since she can remember. As a child, insects, mice, and salamanders would burrow into her bedclothes and die. At her elementary school, she was blamed for a classmate’s tragic accident. And on her sixteenth birthday, a car crashes in front of her family home—and Meridian’s body explodes in pain.

Before she can fully recover, Meridian is told that she’s a danger t...

Recommended Read - After by Amy Efaw

I've been doing a lot of workshops and programs lately at area library events. It's something I really enjoy doing, although I still get nervous and consider myself a beginner on the circuit. If you've been to any of my events you've probably heard me rave about a book I recently finished. I brought the book up not only because I LOVED it, but because it's a great example of realistic fiction and because I always tell writers to never hold back. Amy Efaw's AFTER is about a teen who gets...

Supernatural Season 5

I reviewed the premiere of SPN last night. I hope you'll stop by and discuss Sympathy for the Devil with the Supernatural Sisters. Check it out!

Anniversary

It's hard to believe it's been 1 year since Sleepless came out. In fact, it rather boggles my mind. It's been an incredible year of amazing highs (positive reviews, selling Hollyweird, winning the Prism and incredible fan mail) and some unexpected lows (losing editors, separating from my agent, not selling a sequel). But mostly I feel incredibly blessed to have realized my dream and I can not thank everyone for their kind support. I have met some of the most fantastic people through this one yea

School is in session

My kids are back in school and I swear I've gotten more done in the last couple days then I did the whole three months of summer. LOL. But having them back in classes makes me think about the wonderful school visits I did last.year. I was blessed to visit a lot of area schools (sometimes 2 or 3 times) and do everything from individual room visits to large combined classes. Plus, there were bookfairs, AVID, book clubs and more. I hope to make some return visits this year, as well as visit new sch
