Am I the only one who reads children’s/young adult books? I doubt it. Today I had the pleasure of finding a truly great book!
Anyone who has young children has probably heard of Lauren Childs, the author of the Charlie and Lola books. I found a slightly “older” book of hers called “Utterly Me, Clarice Bean” at the Goodwill a few weeks ago and started reading it to the boys today as part of our summer reading and Logan’s new facination with chapter books. So we read some and the boys liked it. As for myself, I can’t put the thing down! It’s so funny! You can almost hear the little girl talking in your head and it’s full of illustrations and fonts and such. It’s so cute!
So go read it if you feel the urge to just enjoy a book.

President Obama
I’m not going to get all political in a writing blog, but I have to say that I did watch the inauguration and as always made sure I voted in the big election. The country has just seen power change hands for the forty-fourth time. That is impressive.
Hail to the chief!

Slacking
Wow I’ve been slacking badly with the author blog. Feel free to point and throw things, just don’t take away my pens! In a way it’s a good thing. I’ve been too busy reading and writing (not to mention working and doing holiday stuff with the family) to do much blogging. But, in honor of New Year’s, I’ll try my best to blog at least once a week. If nothing else it will be interesting to see just how I’m coming on my many projects.
For now, enjoy a cute meme:

Jason
Okay some serious real life stuff. A friend of mine is having some major surgery tomorrow so if everyone who takes the time to read this would send up some prayers it would be appreciated.
Good luck, Jason! Talk to you tomorrow night!

First post!
Okay this will probably be mostly writing-related. After all, with a Myspace and Livejournal account, how much more blogging can I really do? Although I’m sure I’ll end up cross posting a few things.
So right now I’m working on tweaking and setting up my site so bear with me. I am proud of the new page, my reading list. I’m curious to see just how much I do read.
And yes, the future posts will be more interesting, I’m sure
