I Blush

Yesterday, I read a homework assignment aloud in class at UCLA, and the class broke into applause as I finished! I think I touched a chord, writing about an older woman obsessing about her looks and then taking a chance on a new hair cut. Why not?

Some of this same joyful optimism can be found in "Some Rivers End on the Day of the Dead," although Marisol is a teen. She is not a goth, she is not an emo, she is a girl with goals. She loves her family. She loves to read. Life has not been fair to her, but she is going to make the best of it.

I would like to sell 100 more copies of "Some Rivers End" by March. Amazon has lowered the price! I'd appreciate your support. Oh, the goodreads.com giveway is still open. . .ends Jan. 31.

:0) Thanks, so much for another hug. I did feel as if I connected with people on a subject of mutual need.
