In November 2008, we selected Ellen Emerson White's novel Long May She Reign to represent that month's theme, Persistence. If you love thoughtful stories you can really sink your teeth into and you have yet to read Ellen's series of books about Meg Powers, the daughter of the President of the United States, immediately proceed to your local library or bookstore and pick them up! Make sure to read them in order:
- The President's Daughter
- White House Autumn
- Long Live the Queen
- Long May She Reign
While you're preparing to read (or re-read) those 4 books, here are 7 personal factoids that Ellen shared with us, to share with you: 
1) I can play the saxophone. Prefer tenor to alto.
2) I used to work in a factory making computers and burglar alarms, and am surprisingly good with complicated tools and machinery
3) Can't stand seafood in any form, to the point of not even really liking those goldfish crackers
4) I waste much too much time mired in writers' block and deep uncertainty
5) I secretly love almost all of Shelley Long's movies
6) I think Dispatches and The Things They Carried are possibly the two best books to come out of the Vietnam War
7) I meant to be a lawyer and work in the Manhattan DA's office, but I guess I forgot, somewhere along the way.
