This and That Thursday

LIFE Can you believe it's April already?! April is going to be an awesome month. I have three, yes, three concerts lined up (one with Carolina Valdez Miller! We are going to drool over Jared Leto together) and a trip to the Bahamas. Plus my boys' baseball season starts too. Definitely a fun, incredibly busy month! WRITING Jon and I have slacked a bit on our middle grade novel, Sasquatch Eleanor, in the last few weeks, but we are destined to keep at it. I've put some good time in this week. It's awesome, I tell you, awesome! Go us!

BLOGGING Next week is National Library Week! I'll be posting a parody of a song celebrating libraries again! I heart the library. Please check out the Bookanista's Give Back contest at Myra's blog HERE! Lots of great prizes including critiques and signed books! AUTHOR NEWS My dear friend Anita Laydon Miller has released her middle grade novel Earthling Hero! She is having a blog tour now and will stop by my blog next Wednesday. You don't want to miss it! Anita is one smart, beautiful, funny woman! You can buy her ebook at amazon.com or smashwords! Plus check out her new Middle Grade blog HERE! Read an interesting discussion about e-publishing and a schedule of Anita's blog tour at Matthew's blog here. MUSIC Speaking of songs, I cannot, cannot get Rebecca Black's "Friday" out of my head! Argh! But here's Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, and long lost American Idol Taylor Hicks singing it!*Blogger formatting is wonky today; Sorry! I've tried to fix it (if it's not fixed when I post this!)
