Nor that his frame was dust.

And this bequest of wings
Was but a book — what liberty
A loosened spirit brings!”

Book Release Date!
Tuesday, May 19, 2009
If you took my quiz yesterday, you might already be aware...but I finally received a release date for my book, The Stillburrow Crush!! Yay. Keep your calendar's open for FEBRUARY 26, 2010, because that's when you're going to buy, like, ten copies of my story, right? OK, OK. I'll settle for one copy!
Anyway, I'm back from driving my parents to Oklahoma, and let me tell you...when I'm going 80 mph on the interstate through downtown Tulsa, OK (which I've never driven through before), it's not a good time to start disagreeing on the route home. But that's what my parents did. I guess I never should've said, "Just tell me when to turn," because they did that too...except they told me two different directions.
We made it home alive though, thank goodness. And I've watched all my nieces and nephews graduate for the year. Except Matthew, who's having his Preschool graduation Wednesday evening. That might be too cute to miss, so, OK, I guess I have one more graduation to attend.
Now that you're all caught up on my life, I'm off in an attempt to sell book number two!! Wish me luck.
