Schooling Schooling Schooling, Reading Reading Reading, two more days of school left!

Do your books have a moral to the story?

Be blessed,

Hi, Jade,

If there is a moral to any of my stuff, it's implied. I would never preach. But my leading characters tend to be decent people, kind to one another, and honest. That's as preachy as I get.

The classics? Oscar Wilde?

Don't look at the picture -- he looks awful in it!

I take it schoolis out. It's a good thing you're not living in Toronto -- they go until June 24th or so this year! But they don't start up again until after Labor Day, so it's all the same I guess.

Have a great summer! Play! Eat too much! Meet people! Write something!

You know, I actually check the Forum a lot of times in the week. I don't know why it hasn't occured to me that I am ALLOWED to post on here. Kind of silly. Hi, Gord! How's the being an author thing going? I have my school's book fair starting next week and the Positive Action Group gets to help set up for it!

Hi, Jade.

Great to hear from the Head Pagger. Piling up points in Heaven, are we?

Did I ever tell you that the kind of dedication you put into the MIXED UP book club was above and beyond the call of duty. But I'm very glad you and Raymond became Internet buddies during that time.

Good to hear from you. When I don't, I worry. You're not planning to outgrow me, are you??? --GK--

Yes, and as the Head Pagger, it is going great! The event went SPLENdidly and we got to use the school's real cameras for some official pictures! The book fair will be so fun this semester. We helped review books (a few had to be taken off the shelves). And guess what? SO many of your books were there! Seven, I think, and I owned every single one of them except for Slacker (I've read all of them except for War Stories.)

Thank you so much, MIXED UP was so fun to read and so fun to have a book club for! I'm very glad to get to know Raymond now. He's always been so cool to me.

No, I am not planning to outgrow you any time soon!! Never worry, never fear, because the awesome Jade is here!
