According to David Arnold’s bio and author photo, he’s a relatively young guy with a wife and a young son. I’m not sure why he decided to write a YA novel from a teen girl’s point of view, but I’m sure glad he did. The story of Mim (Mary Iris Malone) in Mosquitoland is a …Read More
The Saturday Report: Stop the Rain…at least for a few days
Speaking of the weather… Which is about all Coloradoans are talking about these days. I’d sure love to see one of these rainbows real soon. A double rainbow like this one from a few years ago would be an extra bonus. Colorado is known for the number of sunshiny days each year…but we’re seriously falling …Read More

This novel is a post-apocalyptic adventure that moves along at a very swift pace. The disaster that took …Read More
The Saturday Report: I Think I Have Spring Fever
The Week…Ugh This wasn’t a good a week for me. Non-productive. Boring. Achy from walking lopsided because of the crutches and walking boot. Finally stir crazy after all these weeks at home babying the broken foot. Ignoring the things I need to do to my new website/blog. And creeping doubt at my ability to get …Read More

I’m no singer, but I dearly love the people who can and do. I’m especially fond of a capella groups, so I brought you this video today for three reasons. First, Home Free is an excellent example of the talent out there today. Another group I’ve mentioned on this blog is Pentatonix. Wonderful music makers. …Read More
