Stella said...: Nice! BTW, I gave Violet to one of my 5th grade students to read, when she asked for a suggestion. She came up to me in the hall and said she's "loving it" and is going to recommend it to her friends. Just thought I'd share. Cheers!; December 20, 2009 at 12:58 PM

"I always write a good first line, but I have trouble writing the others." --MoliFre

"What no wife of a writer can ever understand is that a writer is working when he's staring out of the window." --Burton Rascoe

"Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else." --Gloria Steinem
