As you know, I rarely review books, but this is much more than that. It’s interviews with two extraordinarily talented women: author Laurie Wallmark and animator/illustrator Stevie Lewis whose book releases on July 25th.
I’m not a frequent user of Facebook; I visit sporadically, typically for birthday wishes to friends and family, so time spent is sparse. As luck would have it, I happened to catch one of Laurie’s posts in my timeline announcing her upcoming book, The Queen of Chess.

Seeing as it’s that time of year—here in the U.S. at least—when turkey is the staple food for celebrations, I figured it’s the perfect time to post this. For decades it’s given us crispy-skinned, moist turkey every time 😎

Well, that is, until my “gamer” boyfriend (a label I’m not as fond of as he is 😉 ) came into my life. Continue reading
Well, it’s official. My blogs are now more than 1 year old. Mere infants, without question, but still—they’re past the crawling stage and have donned walking shoes 🙂 I’m glad you were all here to have this little “celebration” with me and for a couple of you to win a few “party favors” in the process! It’s so much fun giving stuff away 😀
