In third grade, Ted Kendall wrote "The Mouse on Guadalcanal" for a class assignment, and knew right then that he wanted to write books. But life's distractions got in the way and instead of books, he ended up writing emails, memos, and reports. Granted, reports are like a good children's book--lots of pictures and very few words, but they are truly boring compared to stories about African board games, horrible, no good, very bad days, or falling into the night kitchen. So when he was unceremoniously laid off from his report writing duties, Ted decided to return to his third grade dream. He learned to illustrate while recovering from surgery, and put it all together to write and illustrate George's Great Hockey Adventure. Not to sell it, but ...more

This is (Not) Enough by Anna Kang Illustrated by Christopher Weyant

This Is (Not) Enough

Before I get too far, I have a book concept/draft called Mac and Cheese for Mack and Jeeves that I would love Christopher Weyant to illustrate. I know, I know. Chances of that are very, very low. But I just love his illustrations and how they convey beyond the words the feelings behind the story so that kids get it and enjoy it.

I selected this book from my shelf because this s Read more of this blog post »

Jean Vanier
“Many people are good at talking about what they are doing, but in fact do little. Others do a lot but don't talk about it; they are the ones who make a community live.”
Jean Vanier, Community and Growth

Ted Clifton
“He followed the Denver teams, and was an avid Rockies fan. He thought baseball was a smart game, played more or less according to rules. Football, by contrast, seemed like chaos, with victory often being decided by penalties for breaking rules that were subjective and poorly administered. It was as if the government was in charge of football, with all of its bickering and clowning, while baseball was run by the best fourth-grade teacher you ever had, the one who ensured that everyone played by the rules or not at all, and if you weren’t polite, there were consequences. He wasn’t sure where basketball fit in.”
Ted Clifton, Santa Fe Mojo

Harlan Coben
“You are looking at your child and it is an ordinary moment, not like they are onstage or hitting a winning shot, just sitting there and you look at them and you know that they are your whole life and that moves you and scares you and makes you want to stop time.”
Harlan Coben, The Woods

William L. Shirer
“Certainly never before in modern times—since the press, and later the radio, made it theoretically possible for the mass of mankind to learn what was going on in the world—have a great people been so misled, so unscrupulously lied to, as the Germans under this regime.”
William L. Shirer, Berlin Diary: The Journal of a Foreign Correspondent 1934-1941

“How does a detective make a plan?” He swallowed a yawn. “Depends if you’re asking an American or a Brit.” “What’s it matter?” “A British detective plans every minute. They want alibis for everyone and a minute-by-minute timeline of the fateful day. They weigh every ounce of motive, means, and opportunity. They don’t make a move until their case is airtight.” “That sounds like me. What about an American?” “They just stir up shit until the killer outs himself.” “Sloppy.” “But a lot more fun.”
W.M. Akers, To Kill a Cook

message 2: by Ted

Ted Kendall I just read a fun book called Shambling to Hiroshima, and I think the humor is right down your line. I will put it on my profile.

I am actually dying for a really good mystery novel, but have run out of good authors.


Carrie Hi Ted. got any recommendations for me?
