A conversation with the kids.
If you haven’t been following my blog since the beginning, you might not know that I work with kids. Well, actually you probably know because I constantly talk about them…lol. I even read books specifically geared FOR them so that I can find things they’ll enjoy. What can I say? I don’t have any children yet, so each and every one of those little faces are my happiness. At least they’re mine temporarily :). Today we started a conversation about libraries. Me: So what do you all think about going to the library this month? Class: YEAAAAHHHHH! When are we…

An Interview with Alan Tucker
Alan is the debut author of A Measure of Disorder which is a fantastic fantasy novel! (You can find my review here.) Buy a digital copy at Smashwords, or bound copy at Amazon.com! 1) What inspired you to write A Measure of Disorder? I have written things, here and there, all my life. Poems, short stories, etc. but I had never finished a novel. I’d started many through the years, but could never pull together a complete effort. I either had a great beginning with no ending, or vice versa. Last summer, my younger daughter (the one that still lives at home…

2010 Summer Romance Challenge
Okay so I’ve always been one of those girls who has a hard time giving romance a chance. (Ha, yes that rhymes.)
