Fusenews: “What’s the matter with kids today?” – with apologies to Bye, Bye, Birdie
Giving birth! All the kids are doing it these days. And you know what giving birth means, right? It means having a little extra time to blog and get my non-work related projects done. Though, naturally, I wrote 50% of this post a day ago and then must have failed to save the darn thing. […]

Amazingly, surprisingly, some might say shockingly, well. […]

If I Were a Rich Girl: The Children’s Literary Conference and Convention Tour
Ever have that moment where you wish you were independently wealthy? Let’s say you are and that you’re also a children’s librarian (dream with me here) who can take leave anytime you wish. What would you ideally love to do? Me, I’ve got a plan in place. When the universe informs me that I’ve won […]
