Carcassonne!

Churchbells ring like crazy at a quarter to eight, here. It gives one the impression that the village had best be up and about by now, not lying around like lazy slug-a-beds. :)

We had not planned any French Adventures yesterday, as my parents were arriving for their part of this vacation. I’d thought I could get quite a lot of writing done. Sadly

Poor Indy. I'm glad he's feeling better.
As to Carcassonne... all I can say is, go to Bruges... Ils sont formidables, tous les deux.

Before I splat on the couch for a nap, having survived the first day of students, I wanted to note that /4/ kids, without any intervention or prompting from me, were determined to read Urban Shaman for their SSR book. (Four kids for whom the reading level is appropriate, even.) I told them I'd get more copies, if they each read a few pages and were sure they wanted it. They did, and they did.

Out of 5 bookcases full of novels of various lengths, nearly 6% of Kotlik 7th - 12th grade students chose C.E. Murphy. (:

Oh my god. That is...about the most awesome thing ever. Wow.

Maybe I should send you some copies of these books I'm writing for Breic. They're aimed at 9-12 year olds, and it'll be a few years before they're Officially Published, but...I mean, if you think they'd *read* them...

That would be awesome! Yes. Just from what you've said about them, I can think of a couple boys who would be interested. There is, I am happy to note, more interest in Science Fiction and Fantasy, this year, than there has been. More kids willing to branch out beyond the "culturally relevant" books they usually pick.
Also, one of the girls was very impressed, as she read the About the Author page, to see that you had your own website, so I promised she could look at it, the first time we go to the lab. (;

I love the awesomeness of walking around! In an epic fantasy novel!

Of course, since you're in Carcassonne I keep thinking you're walking around in a game....
