But I got admission in medical college. I've been wanting to do this for such a long time. FINALLY!! I'll be starting my studies from Sep. :D"


That is a serious achievement and start to a very challenging career. Serious Woots to you for getting there. Clearly you are an amazing person.

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 66 comments Thanks Jen and Patricia.
@Jen you're right, it's very challenging. I've been worried for a while after taking admission about how I'll be able to cope up with everything.

I'm super excited! I usually come across books long after they're out (ie: I just read Hunger Games this year). So to fall in love with a series before it's already all out is new for me.....so now I'm dying to read The Earth Dwellers!!

Caitlin (caitlinsiem) | 409 comments I'm starting the preliminaries for a book review blog. I have wanted to do so for a while now but it's finally starting to come together. But I'm having a DREADFUL time coming up with a name. Seems that everything I think of is already taken. And here I thought I was original haha.

Teresa Coming up with a name is the hardest part. Good luck. Let us know when it's up and running. I'd love to take a look.

LOL that probably is the hardest part! Brainstorm with things you like, or maybe any certain colors or designs you like, and name it off of that!

Yea, you were awesome, David! And I hadn't read that version so it was new to me!! I loved it! I need to reread to see what you changed from a year ago. I liked that you now have Tristan at the beginning to explain the history. And the Adele-Tristan connection has more detail!


message 1423: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin (caitlinsiem) | 409 comments So I decided on a blog name! Yay! Now I'm just in the process of setting everything up. I want to make sure I have stuff put together before I open it up. But I got the blog, twitter, and Facebook set up for it today so I'm feeling pretty accomplished :)

Yay, Caitlin, I can't wait to see your blog!!

Today at work I made the best meal ever..BLTs with fresh garden tomatoes, salad with all garden fresh ingredients, and blueberry pie bars for dessert. It was SO GOOD! I ate way too much, I just couldn't stop eating! The residents LOVED it, several came up to me after they finished to compliment the food! WOOT! That was totally awesomesauce!

And now I'm off the rest of the weekend, and that's feeling pretty good!

Thank you Karen and Jenny! Ooh yes, that's a hot-off-the-presses version, the one I published a couple weeks ago. It includes all the edits from my agent's team :) Next up we'll be making some revisions to The Star Dwellers and The Sun Dwellers. Not necessarily major changes, but changes that we hope will make the series even more sellable to a publisher :)


message 1427: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin (caitlinsiem) | 409 comments Looks like I'm going to have to read all your books twice David. A little before and after action. ;) I'm really so happy for you. This is so exciting!

Lisa M. Yesterday I saw a man at the bus stop picking up some garbage an other person had left there, I just started smiling because I really hate littering! If I could, I'd have said something to the man but I was in a hurry :c
But it really makes me happy that there are still people like this man (I'm very sorry for any faults, English isn't my first language)

YES I DID!! I can't get enough of Siena! And it was so interesting to hear how she sounded out of your head. I always gave her a HEAVY accent in my head. And loved the new hat, by the way, David. :-P

Alana ~ The Book Pimp (loonyalana) | 295 comments I've got a ½ *Woot*

Got Nikki Powergloves- A Hero is Born (Nikki Powergloves, #1) by David Estes for my Kindle yesterday, and told my 5 year old (who ADORES superheroes) about it. He was excited about the concept, but I had to 'convince' him I could read it to him from my Kindle (my kids are 'old school' about preferring paper books to electronic readers... unless you're talking about TV or computer games and then all bets are off... but I digress) So, I finally convinced him, we needed to read some for his reading log, and I started reading aloud to him. After about 2 pages, he was like, "Where are the gloves? I want to hear about the gloves?" So I had to skim ahead, and found and read all about the responsibility of power, and the glowing chest and all that fun bit, until Nikki finds what's inside, puts them on and accidentally finds out what that snowflake mark means. As much as I was enjoying reading it to him... Ryland was not impressed. Sorry. Powergloves were not enough to keep him snared. Maybe I'll try again when he's older.

BUT- David, you have the honor of appearing in my son's reading log for his teacher ;) So, ½ a *Woot*?

Here's 1/2 Woot! lol I'm thinking 5 may be a bit young for those books, but that's totally a guess, as I haven't read them yet! I did grab the free one. I think Tessa will like them!

Today on my blog is my personal playlist for Fire Country!

Lol!! I'll take the half a woot!! They really are children's first chapter books so definitely meant for 7-10 year olds, but I have had a few ambitious parents find some success with their five year olds so that's why I also include them in the potential target audience lol! But when I read it to a full Kindergarten class it was definitely hilarious trying to keep all their attention ha!! Thanks for trying Alana and hopefully he'll be more keen in a couple years ;) They grow up fast!

It was, at least, easy to read aloud. I even tried for the slight New York accent on the beaverthingy (or was it a bearthingy- I already forgot) but I don't know how well that came off. It was actually a pretty fun one to read, easy and fast and held my attention. I wanted to learn more about the other gloves!
