Ooh, congrats on getting the book published, and Candlewick puts out some wonderful titles from my experience in young adult and children's literature classes. I'll have to remember to check it out sometime.

like the add blog button? That one? I am usually better at figuring things out than this, haha.
And thanks, I was just trying not to be too similar to anything you or anyone else is writing. LOL. I am just trying to be a little careful. You know? :)

Hi Jo!
Thank you for accepting my add. And congrats on your first novel being published! I have to admit that the title definitely caught my attention. I shall have to look it up online and see if there is any information out on your book yet.

A question: how do we get the blog entries we've written at LJ to show here? Are you copying and pasting or is there a more technologically advanced way?
Technologically premature,
Pamela
