I think I can finally come down from the clouds now. I finished writing the sequel to Misfit McCabe late Monday night, and inside have been dancing on table tops ever since. It is a fantastic feeling when you put that final period of a manuscript on the page.
Borders on the Slippery Slope
A local author walked into a bookstore. . . sounds like the beginning of a joke, doesn’t it. Well, what followed was a joke, but not in the least amusing for anyone involved.

Tonight I started sending emails to middle school language arts teachers to let them know about the Where in the World is Misfit McCabe? project so that they can utilize it in their classes if they would like to. After all, it’s hard to use resources you don’t even know about. I started with local schools, and by that, I … Read More

Once again, not being patient enough to wait, when I heard that Book 8 had arrived in Butler, NJ, I figured that the copy traveling to Norfolk, VA must also have arrived.
