I have an idea. Not only has it been kicking around – it’s been taking over. It’s entirely the opposite of the YA novel. So far below and beyond that were both to ever be published – no one would believe the same person wrote them.

The first week back at school… what a wonderful, magical time for parents!
I’d managed to quash Rhia’s insistence that we shop for school supplies in June, then again in July and then while she was away in August (hardly seems a month since she was in Saska-where) there were no hourly requests to go shopping.

I have five books on/in the review files. Most of which are sitting comfortably…but the authors are giving me the eyeball..I can feel it.
I have to get back to work on another project for …
