I have fond memories of Woodinville. I was actually in Washington on business, I forget exactly what the purpose was, but I was visiting the office that my company had in Bothell before heading up to our Vancouver office. Since there was a weekend in between, I was able to attend the Annual Fool’s Day Parade, also known as the … Read More
2008 in Review
I’m not really a believer in resolutions. The word resolution to me is like the phrase, “I’ll try.” When someone says, “I’ll try,” what they really mean is “don’t hold your breath.” It’s like a built in excuse for failure. With “I’ll try”, if I succeed, then I’m the hero, if I fail, well, I never promised anything. A resolution … Read More
Christmas is Coming

WITW is MMC? – El Paso, TX
Actually, Book 7, the Pink line, arrived in El Paso quite some time ago, around the same time as the Brown and Teal lines, but I forgot to post its arrival, mainly because it has been so quiet I think it might be doing a little sightseeing before settling down to be read. To give you a visual of something … Read More

Thanksgiving is a very special time because it allows us all the opportunity to review our lives and realize all of the wonderful things which we have been given. I even think back on those things that were negative in nature and find something to be thankful for … Read More
Death of the Book – Not Yet
Being an author, I love books, although it seems somewhat axiomatic to say so. I enjoy holding them in my hands, turning the pages and diving into the world that the writer has created for us. That being said, with the advent of e-book readers the world of books as we know it is changing. There may, one day, be … Read More
California On Fire
I had an appointment that I had to go to at noon today, and the smell of smoke was almost overpowering as I stepped outside my house. I knew that there was a fire burning in Sylmar because we had seen that information earlier. There was definitely too much smoke in the air to be from the Sayre fire which … Read More
Acai Berry – Snake Oil or Superfood
Yesterday as I was surfing the net, I decided to pop Acai Berry into the search box. I thought I would see what the cost was for this little berry that has everyone in an uproar to determine whether it would be something to try to get me through the holidays without gaining a few more unwanted pounds. I’ve decided … Read More
Contacting Schools
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

Much to my surprise, Misfit McCabe Book 4 (the Green line) arrived in Hesperia, CA today. It only left Garden Grove yesterday, but when I called to tell my sister to expect it, she said she had it already. Justine will get to read it first and then hand it to her brother, Jake. The biggest issue that they will have … Read More
