Five Things on a Friday

Mist rising off the lake at Poland Spring Campground, Maine

1.  Today I'm off to Poland Spring Campground to spend time with writer friends.  Though it's supposed to rain tomorrow, I'm hoping the weather will cooperate enough for me to go kayaking and to take my notebook down to the lake early Sunday morning to write sensory details for my novel.

2.  My daughter and I both love "So You Think You Can Dance."  It's the summer TV show we always watch together.

3.  Speaking of Julia, she is checking out a housing possibility for graduate school on Sunday.  I'm thrilled for her and in denial that she's leaving at the same time!!!

4.   Thank you to the librarians of New Jersey for putting Touch Blue on the 2013-14 Garden State Children's Book Award list!

5.  And today, Touch Blue officially comes out in paperback!
