Good Times, Good Friends, and Good Writing

We're looking at Labor Day over and the fall looming before us. I have to admit fall is my favorite season. I think it's the promise of cooler weather here in Texas, gobs of pumpkin seeds, and memories of how leaves used to change color (wishing I could visit Virginia or Pennsylvania this fall...le sigh).

But I'd be remiss if I didn't mention some of the fun writerly times I've had recently...

Up for giveaway is an ARC of book my son devoured in a day. (For reference, he's in the fourth grade.) This is second of the series, and he's already waiting anxiously for the third! Perfect for boys or girl, elementary and middle school. He loved it so much, I put it on the "to buy" list at our school library just yesterday.
