Disclaimer: If i suddenly stop posting posts. haha, its because i did something wrong and I have to wait for one of my children to fix it.
PS: my mom will update this soon, i just might have fixed all her problems for about 3 months, then she will probably find a new way to hurt her poor computer xD PEACE (5th time fixing her accounts with gmail and blogger, ugh)

When, In The Course Of Human Events...

Those are the words beginning one of the most powerful, world-altering documents. Even if you're not American, read them. If you have any sense of the human spirit that yearns to be free, they will move you.

If not, then you'll never understand how we feel about the Fourth of July.

In the words of Patriot Patrick Henry:

Give me liberty, or give me death.

Past and Present

Sometimes we need to look back to see how far we’ve come.

Don't leave, I'm here!

I've been busy! Went to Book Expo America to meet new editors for new book I'm co-authoring with Natalie, attended an NYC Rooftop party with so many other amazing authors and bloggers, and then it was a 3 day NJ Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators conference where Natalie & I  presented, signed and schmoozed. Phew! So I am a little behind. Sorry to disappoint.

Allow me to indulge just this little bit....

This is the prize pack for the Sirenz Back In Fashion giveaway. We're listed on a number of blogs, so read the interviews and guest posts (each are different!) and enter to win. You get a SIGNED book, bookmarks, a large diamond ring paperweight, gold chocolate coins all in a pretty pink bag! And read their reviews; they've all taken the time to read the book and write their thoughts. (They won't all be 4-5 star, but that's okay! We each have our prefs.)

So please show some love to the bloggers for their incredible generosity for being part of our blog tour and enter to win! Here's the list (I couldn't put all the links in. Sorry! But Google them.) Some may be later than date shown and some may not appear at all- LIFE happens, but there are plenty of other stops. Happy traveling!

Our World Tour

It's beginning! The Sirenz Tour!

A Day To Remember

For those who did not return and for those who might not return, you are forever in our hearts and memories, and we are forever in your debt.

Now That's What I'm Talking About!

We opened our pool this weekend:

A little cloudy, wee bit green, but it's looking good! And it's not that cold (54 degrees versus the more usual 46).

But I'm REALLY looking forward to THIS opening!

Yep, that's our pool bar.

Reservations now being accepted.
