The First Time anthology is out! OTHER news! Contest!
Hello my pretties,
(I'm planning a Wizard of Oz party for Baby Lo's third birthday. Look for many Wiz-inspired references ahead. Also craziness, because I get crazy when I'm doing the birthday thing. Anyone who's hung around the blog the past few years and seen the montages and the theme cakes knows this well. And yes, three is getting a montage, and I've already cried twice while making it. I'd be even more sappy about my last baby growing up if I weren't so darn sick of changing diapers. Only I could so perfectly space my children apart that I would be changing diapers almost nonstop for 7 years. I win! Not really. Not at all. So sick of other people's poop.)
Anyway! Diapers--not made of win. This anthology--lots of win!! This is my first time to write a young adult short story and I am so excited and nervous and hoping readers enjoy it.
Go forth and read all about it.
(Be sure to read all the way to the end for the prize winning part...)
