There is a lot to say about this Pioneer Trek we did last week [1]. Some of it is only to say to each other. But some of it I don’t want to forget, so I’m going to say it here. Four days of camping in a dress. Moving on. There is this thing, apparently...

Category Archives: characterWe are not a screaming family. Husband is quiet. I holler, but mostly happily / spastically [1]. The Kids as a group are quiet-ish, subtle in their emotions. Except for Kid 3, who is unsubtle as a Defining Character Trait, and we love that about her. So I’ve been all braggy about this on FaceBook,... So I’m standing on the East Balcony in Grand Central Station. Why, you ask? Because I am a Tourist. Also I love pretty buildings, and I like to go inside them. Also? The Apple Store does free wifi, unlike my otherwise totally charming upper easy side hotel. Shall I give you a taste? Italian food.... So I was talking with a person lately. (This is news, right?) And the person has, well, really weird hair. I can’t describe it to you, because I’m not that good a writer. Just kidding. Because I don’t want to offend any more people this week. It’s a goal.

I have learned a few delightful truths these past few days. For instance, nothing coats your house in a blanket of Wholesome better... So I’m having a problem. What? You’re not surprised? Here it is. My publisher has been doing a good job of getting word out about MRRO, getting me lots of blog interviews and having the book listed on lots of buying sites. The problem is the blurb. It mentions Mr. Darcy. Why is that a... I did a fun event this weekend – at the lovely Purple Cow bookshop. Loads of cute families, and even one of my favorite families from Many Years Back! The crowd was delightful, and the women who work that shop LOVE their books and the kids who read them. Thanks, Isa, for having me! *Sigh*... |
