It's harvest time:

It's a Ling and Ting Share a Birthday sticker design!
Rain Dragon has just discovered the joy of stickers! Thus inspired, I've decided to have some Ling and Ting stickers-- they are going to be super nice (you'll be able to peel off Ling and Ting separately, as well as their plate of cupcakes)!
And you can get one (along with a cute magnet and more!) by coming to my book party on September 14th (it's a Sat., please sign up and spread the word!!) or by ordering an autographed book from White Square Books. I'll include the sticker, magnet and as many other book party goodies as possible with the book!*
*yes, more shameless bribery but I really want to support White Square Books! They specially arranged for online ordering of my books at my request so I hope to make it worth it to them!

time
time is not an endless resource
or a faithful friend
it is like the sunlight
she tries to grab
it slips through
marveling fingers, frustrated hands
i try to tell her it's not something you can hold
when it leaves
you can only remember it as
something
beautiful
