I do have an amazing job. Kids are awesome; there is no other group of people with such potential, such creativity, and such incredible resilience.

That’s a great solution, D.D., and one I could totally accept. It was a fun book and well written, I hope the series does well for her!

This sounds like a fun book! I always enjoy it when an author sets out to establish reasons for how and why a mythological creature exists. As a side, I think I would have chosen to the same speech limitations as well, but presented it differently. The problem seems to be using the concept of telepathy to help the reader understand how speech works among merpeeps. It sounds like the author probably should have named that skill something else, and clearly defined the water as a conduit for how they communicate, so that speech on land would not work the same.

Good idea, Lara; the not listening I mean. Clearly you have what it takes! I always try to read before I go to sleep at night, the problem with that lately is, no matter how good my intentions, I frequently fall asleep about two pages in. Once you get back to it, I hope you enjoy Bossy Pants. That’s so cool that you won a copy! Happy Cinco de Mayo!

I loved the movie Date Night – and so did my husband. It was hilarious! I won a copy of Bossy Pants, and am about half-way through and then hit one of those periods where I can’t find time to read. I’m sorry Stephen King thinks that means I don’t have the tools to be a writer, but some days there is just too much going on. I just don’t listen to him! :)
