Okay. You have to read Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. It's the second book in her series, after The Hunger Games. And now I wait for the third one. When?

More lovely rain. Cool weather. Lovely weekend and beginning to a new week.

Happy reading and writing, all.

Remember that old song? Well, some of you may be too young. But when I walked down to the mailbox (1/10 mile from our house) raindrops fell on my head, rather the umbrella.

My latest read is Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. Awesome. I never was much for vampires and werewolves, but the books I've read lately have changed all that. Now I love the creatures. Thanks to the great authors who keep coming up with unique characters.

Happy Reading and Writing.

Good Morning, Everyone,

I just have to share my good news with you. The cover for my Tween/YA novel, Just Breeze, is now here. It is so Breeze. Aidana Willowraven is the illustrator, and she captured Breeze down to her blue toenails. Watch for the book's release, late September.

You wake up late.

You're out of coffee.

You burn the toast.

You spill the milk.

The baby's fussy.

Your teenager is in a mood.
