What will I do on Sundays? Oh, yeah, write.
Downton Abbey is over. Long, heavy sigh. Since early January I've looked forward eagerly to Sunday evening and my time with Lady Mary, Cousin Violet, Bates, Anna and all the other characters who have populated Downton so well. Now it's over. Of course, there will be...
Top 100 Children's Books
Scholastic Parent & Child magazine just release a list of the 100 best children's books. I'm always a bit skeptical of top anything lists--it's SO subjective. But they are kind of fun. If only to rant about the books you think should be on there. Here's a link to...

Traffic Mimes . . . No, Really
It would be a huge stretch to tie this post to reading, writing or publishing, but it's just too fantastic not to mention. Apparently, traffic has gotten so horrific in some cities in South America, that they have resorted to . . . are you ready? Mimes. Drivers in the...
