My big spring project…
I am reading the new biography of Roald Dahl…
and have decided I need an office!
Currently, my office is also the laundry room, and Chris' office, and the walk-thru between the kitchen and the deck, and the room we store crap in. I need a place. A space. A spot. But I cannot afford to renovate my house, obviously.
So… I want to turn my no-electricity-having, moldy, trashed, hole-in-the-roof shed in

Hey!I followed the brouhaha this week vaguely, and then, fiddling around Goodreads, I realized that was YOU.
I'd like to apologize on behalf of all authors (not that anyone has authorized me to do that, but hey, why not? :) It's shameful when people get defensive and lash out.
None of us like getting bad reviews, but they're a chance to LEARN things, you know? Write better. And your pull-quotes were pretty inarguably awful.
I'm a fan of honest reviewing, even when the reviews are hard to read. Keeps us all on our toes.
keep it up!
Hi Laurel, thanks for the friendvite! I look forward to snooping your shelves for more middle grade recommendations. Cheers.
Glad you liked the review - I certainly liked the book.
I can't wait to read "Penny Dreadful" ... I received it in the mail last week! It's at the top of my 'to-read' list!!!
Hi LaurelCongratulations on the publication of 'Up and Down the Scratchy Mountains'
best wishes!
Laurel, I've written some Irishy books myself. I wandered around there when I was a kid. Got a movie about Isaac Bashevis Singer. I remember when he won the Nobel Prize. I used to deliver the Forward in which he wrote articles.
