Welcome to my Blog

Welcome to my official blog. If you're looking for something in particular, you might want to type keywords into the search feature on the left-hand side of the page. And I've added a BLOG INDEX on its own page (a bit more complete than the one below) to make it easier. Poking around is also encouraged.

And please do leave comments! Don't be confused by the "author" field in the comment form. When you are writing a message to me and my readers, you are the author. (Nice role reversal, huh?)

Get Well Wishes for Patty Ann

Some of you may remember Oliver and Boo. They had their own More Kitty feature in May. Their owner and/or staff member (I've heard from a reliable source that dogs have owners and cats have staff) is Patty Ann W., a faithful reader, fan, librarian, and friend, who you may have seen in my first reader slideshow.

Patty Ann sent me a few more adorable kittty pics, which I wanted to share here. 

More importantly, Patty Ann is having some not-quite-diagnosed health issues, and I wanted to wish her a speedy recovery, and to encourage others to do the same. If you'll just leave a message in the comments, below, I'll encourage her to come see Ollie and Boo's second feature, and the "Get Well" wishes will be delivered.

And by the way, I didn't realize until yesterday that Patty Ann's initials are P.A.W. Now how's that for an animal lover? Even if you don't know Patty Ann at all, your Get Well wish can be from one animal lover (and book lover) to another.

So thanks, and here's mine: Get back on your feet soon, Patty Ann. Ollie and Boo need you, the book world needs you, and we want you feeling your best. So all good wishes, aimed right at you. I'll look forward to updating this blog post with your good news soon!

Patty Ann, wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery! Tell Ollie and Boo "Meow meow meow" for me. They'll know what it means.

You see? This is what I'm saying. My readers are the best. That goes for Patty Ann, her mom, and all the people who came here (and who will come here) to wish her well. Now we want good news, Patty Ann. We're ready to hear you're on the mend.
