Hey-o, just wondering how you're doing. I know you're probably busy with writing and babysitting and all. I just got back yesterday from an uber fun week of "Bible Camp" more or less. Just thought I'd say hey.

Ashley, I'm glad you're enjoying ZOEY so far! I began reading it at my son's school today to all the fourth graders, so we're on page 28! I'll be reading all week to them. This is fun, as I haven't read the book in a few months! XO Candie

I do have LJ... why do you ask? I just don't use it very often ... in fact, it's kinda been where I dump my image manipulations, at least for the last year. I was thinking of using it for more than that again, but haven't gotten that far.

Hey-o,
I just finished reading PN today actually, and I enjoyed it very much. Definitely a well-written, enjoyable book. Thought you should be the first to know.
