I found this link and loved the article on Anne Rice. I must admit I haven’t read many of her vampire novels. I’m just not a horror buff, but I know many who have. And I do respect her work as an author. I think the article speaks for itself. I applaud Speakeasy Magazine [...]

Lauren Myracle wrote a book about 5th graders. She included some characters that some would consider to be controversal. Scholastics publishers (whom I have greatly respected in the past) intially planned to pull the book because of these characters and some slang. Here are the links with details: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/10/28/scholastic-book-lgbt/ [...]

Stumble forward, stumble back Never meant to let it go so far Gradual steps and you’re still gradually gone You wake up wondering where you are Stumble forward, stumble back Wasn’t anticipating quite this drop When you’re not watching you don’t expect the fall Falling forward’s hard to stop.

As Advertised Dragging in like a cat caught in the rain It’s not hard to read your face I can see through the weariness and pain Don’t you know, haven’t you heard of grace You resist like a toddler at a nap You fight the urge to just lay it down You’re so sure [...]

I do not generally do shoutout news blurbs here, but I had to! I love Carolyn Arends. That is no secret to those who know me well. She is a personal hero of mine, a fellow L’Engle and other lit. lover, an artist, an incredible wife and mother, and so much more. I would [...]
