Eighth graders with five o'clock shadows. Made me think of my son, Glenn, in his first tournement at age 14 facing a kid who was supposed to be 14 but looked 20!marsh to the forehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11077038843846480659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-62334495665958639792009-09-11T11:10:19.248-04:002009-09-11T11:10:19.248-04:00Kerri - dare away!

But NorLights has nine books coming out in a very short time (Hugh's just came out this week!), so they are neck up in marketing and launching and finalizing proofs right now. <br /><br />As soon as I know, though, you'll be the first I tell!Heidi Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420802651029097379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-73255920838850705932009-09-11T11:04:33.265-04:002009-09-11T11:04:33.265-04:00It's like a survival guide to life. I think so...It's like a survival guide to life. I think sometimes how our children don't understand how much we do, worry, try and dream for them, but that's the point of letting them be young, isn't it?<br />And Yay! on the edits. Dare I ask if it may be ready for the holidays?Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13123599839884840143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-2320738295598281782009-09-11T10:50:39.106-04:002009-09-11T10:50:39.106-04:00Patti - thanks!

(My son would be mortified by that last sentence!)<br /><br />Christy - putting the final touches on the bio. I'll post it next week. The cover - I have no idea! I'll probably spend the weekend combing amazon for covers I like to send to my publisher. They said I could, so watch out!<br /><br />Jessie - they don't have all the links on the new stuff up and running yet. I'm not sure when they will. The book isn't even finished editing yet! I'd think in the next few weeks we'd have a cover and the information about it. We'll see. <br /><br />yes - very exciting!Heidi Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420802651029097379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-2405366212834592892009-09-11T09:42:30.598-04:002009-09-11T09:42:30.598-04:00That's so exciting about you book!

I really like the title, have I told you?<br /><br />Your son sounds very resilient.
