I think as a first and practical step towards this larger union it would be desirable that wherever possible, in towns or districts, a few progressive men should join together and form Progressive Associations, however small in size, analogous to those now existing in Port Elizabeth and Cape Town. It page: 101 would then be desirable that these bodies should enter into communication with each other, and draw up a body of principles broad enough to make it possible for every really progressive individual to subscribe to them, and distinct enough to make it quite impossible for any thoroughly non-progressive person to enter the organisation. These principles, I think, should be made the basis of all future organisation.
As a second step, I think it would be advisable that, if possible, a delegate should be appointed to visit each town and village in the Colony to attempt to inaugurate a branch of our page: 102 organisation, however small, in that place. The advantage of this course is obvious. It is often difficult for any individual in a small Colonial town to rise up and inaugurate a movement of any kind, unless he chance to be of exceptional importance, monetarily or otherwise, in the place. In many towns there may be even a large number of individuals, progressive at heart, who would join such an organisation, and who would labour for it vigorously and be able to extend its growth, who yet might not feel themselves in a position to rise up and take the initiative in instating it.
It may be objected that, in page: 103 places where the branch would at first consist of only a dozen individuals, it would be useless, and serve only to show the barrenness of the land!
But, firstly, while an organisation consisting of a dozen isolated individuals in some town or village might be of small importance in itself, connected as it would ultimately be with the organisations in larger towns throughout the country, its strength would be largely increased; and it would form the germ of what might in time become an extensive growth. It is exactly that we may not lose these driblets of progressive thought and feeling page: 104 all over the Colony that I would advocate the endeavour to start such small branch organisations.
If further it be asked, What the principles are which are broad enough to unite all the Progressive Elements in the country? I think an answer will not be very difficult.
There are one or two principles subscription to which will make a man a Liberal and Progressive in any country in the world. Their practical application will vary infinitely according to the conditions of the Society in which they are applied; but they are as simple as universal.page: 105
The fundamental principle¹ upon which Progressive Liberalism all the world over is based, whether consciously or unconsciously, and to which it must finally return if it would justify its varying forms of practical action, is the axiom, however variously worded, which asserts that the mental and physical welfare and happiness of hu- humanity
¹ There is also that ancient categorical imperative which has lain behind the Liberalism of all religious natures from the days of Buddha and Confucius to that of Jesus and the Socialistic movement of to-day—"Do ye unto others as ye would they should do unto you"—and which, perhaps, after all, is the most satisfactory statement of the fundamental principle of Liberalism yet formulated.
page: 106 manity as a whole is the end of all wisely directed human effort, whether of individuals or nations; that one of the main aims of all government must be the defence of its weaker members from the depredations of the stronger, and that no course of action which bases the welfare of sections of the community on the sufferings and loss of other sections is justifiable.
Analysis shows that it is upon this wide principle, however worded, that all forms of Modern Liberalism are ultimately based. It is by their more or less complete harmony with it that the thoroughness page: 107 of their Liberalism may be tested. Nevertheless, it is perhaps too wide a principle on which to base directly a practical organisation intended for the many; more especially in a country where some men's conceptions with regard to Liberal Progressivism are somewhat indefinite—a prominent public man having declared that he considered himself a Progressive because he voted for the construction of railways which would be for his own pecuniary benefit.

Tabbed browsing is [...] less flexible [than MDI], because there's no way to display two documents side-by-side. Imagine if Photoshop used tabbing between images: useless! (In fairness, the hybrid model used in Firefox, where you can open a new window or a new tab, is a really good balance. I just wish there was an easy way to "convert this tab into a window" or vice versa.)
That's not a fundamental limitation of tabbed MDI. Do you have a Mac? Open Adium and with a couple conversations. You can drag the tabs - not only to rearrange them within a window, but also to drag one out of one window into another and back. It's intuitive and even has nice eye candy. (IIRC gaim has this same feature, though it doesn't look as nice.) I'd post a trendy screencapture video if I knew how to do such things easily. Every now and then I try to do it in Safari or Firefox and am disappointed that it doesn't work.

Very helpful for newbies.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Very helpful for newbies.
I have always thought I had a good 1/4 inch sew. I am making an optical illusion quilt by Erin Underwood right now where I need and exact scant 1/4 inch. You sew a bunch of wedges to make a circle. It will matter if it is off even a little bit. My 1/4 in was a little off. I think I have it fixed now. I will book mark this, thanks.
Thanks for sharing!!
great tute...thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing !
This is very helpful--thank you!! I always seem to have troubles with the 1/4'; I believe the 1/4 foot distracts me too instead of being helpful. I can't see due to the bar along the foot. I end up using the blue painters tape myself.
Best Ever Tutorial - Thank You Very Much - Happy Quilting!!

By Sheena Barnett/NEMS Daily Journal
"These are his best songs yet."
– American Songwriter
"The latest addition to the vast Jimbo Mathus musical library may be his finest."
– Atlanta Music Examiner
"The album, in a one-word summation, is masterful."
– Honest Tune
Daily Journal
Every time musicians release a new CD, they usually say it's their best to date. North Mississippi's own Jimbo Mathus doesn't have to say that about his new album, "White Buffalo," because the critics are saying it for him.
But he does agree with them.
"I really am saying (it's my best) – it's like your children that you have and you say, 'I like this one the best.' You don't wanna admit it, but it's true," Mathus said in a phone interview with the Daily Journal. "This one's had a lot of thought put into it, and care and focus, and I think it shows in what's happening with it."
"White Buffalo" was released Jan. 22 on Fat Possum Records.
Mathus didn't change his straight-forward, honest storytelling style of "Catfish Music," as he calls it, for this project; he just put a little bit more thought into it.
Buffalo connections
Jimbo Mathus wrote a song about the Tupelo Buffalo Park's late white buffalo, Tukota, and he used that song title as the name of his album.
He even shot the video for the song at the Buffalo Park, and it should be released in a few weeks.
"I'm out there at the Buffalo Park in a herd of American Bison, wearing an Uncle Sam outfit," he said.
"We just planned it better, edited it better," he said.
"White Buffalo" is about a year in the making. Its started with a Kickstarter campaign, where Mathus' fans helped him raise almost $16,000 to pay for quality production, travel and lodging, recording equipment upgrades and more.
"My fans, they're great people. They enjoy what I do, whether it's a blues concert in Clarksdale or at the Blue Canoe, I do different styles around the Mid-South," he said.
Mathus recorded "White Buffalo" at Delta Recording, his own studio, in Como, while it was mixed and mastered at a studio in Brooklyn.
It's important to Mathus to record his music in his home state.
"It makes a huge difference, it really does. The air in the south is different. It's thicker. If you go to record out in California, I can't hear out there. There's no humidity between my ear and the sound," he said. "It's too loud or clear or something."
It's not just the air – it's everything about the South.
Mathus makes Southern music for Southern people, and he said his fellow North Mississippians understand him best.
"It's like Faulkner said, this 'postage stamp' piece of geography is a never-ending source of inspiration. I figured in my early years of wandering, searching, that everything led back here to me, on every level," he said. "The culture, the music, the arts, the people – to me, it's the greatest place in the world to be from."
Mathus will spend much of 2013 touring and promoting this new album.
"I'll be at the Blue Canoe and I'll be in Oxford town and Memphis and X, Y and Z," he said. "I won't go too far, and if I do, I'll be back soon."

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 11:37 AM GMT on March 21, 2013
After an unusually active January for tornadoes, with approximately double the activity of a typical January, tornado activity dropped to near-normal levels in February, and virtually flat-lined during March. The five confirmed tornadoes in Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama on Monday, March 18 brought the March 2013 tornado tally to just six. Monday's severe weather outbreak in the south brought hail up to the size of softballs to Jackson, MS, and damage from the hailstorm is estimated in the tens of millions.
Since 2000, the U.S. has averaged 89 tornadoes each March, so we have a long way to go to reach average. The 154 tornadoes last year in March 2012 was the fourth highest March total since records began in 1950 (record: 170 in March 2007.) Records for most and least tornadoes in a month have been set 24 times over the past 60 years. Ten of those records have been set in the past decade--six for the fewest tornadoes, and four for the most, said tornado researcher Harold Brooks last week. In addition, the three earliest starts of tornado season and the four latest have all occurred since 1997, and "We've had a dramatic increase in the variability of tornado occurrence," Brooks said. The jet stream, which plays a key role in tornado formation, has been wildly variable in recent years, leading to the large swings in tornado activity.
Figure 1. The EF-2 tornado with 120 mph winds that hit Meriwether and Pike County, Georgia on Monday, March 18, 2013 was one of just six March tornadoes in 2013. The cell labeled "3" spawned the tornado. Two other supercells are also labeled (cell #1 brought hail to Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.) Thanks go to Stu Ostro of TWC for providing the image.
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center is highlighting only a small "Slight Risk" area for severe weather on Thursday over Northern Texas, and another "Slight RIsk" area on Saturday over the Southeast U.S. The winter-like jet stream pattern we are in is likely to be dominant for at least the next week, and perhaps into April. So, March 2013 has a shot at making the top-five list for the quietest March months on record for tornado activity. Years with fewest March tornadoes since 1950:
1) 1951: 6
2) 1969: 8
3) 1966: 12
4) 1958: 15
5) 1978: 17
Forecasting the End
We're safely past the December 21, 2012 date of the predicted Mayan Apocalypse, so its permissible to engage in a bit of "what if" speculation on how civilization on Earth might ultimately meet its doom. That's the premise of The Weather Channel's "Forecasting the End" series, which begins airing Thursday March 21 at 9 pm EDT. I'll be making appearances in six of the episodes, set to air each Thursday through mid-April. You might hear me say the phrase, "It would be a bad day on planet Earth" more than once during the shows, as the type of events being considered--an asteroid strike, super volcano eruption, gamma ray burst, encounter with a rogue planet, and massive methane expulsion event--would all do very bad things to earth's climate, making human life on Earth a tenuous proposition. The spectacular graphics should make for an enjoyable show.
New Wettest Place on Earth Discovered?
After successfully helping cast down one iconic world record--the bogus 136°F measured at El Azizia, Libya in 1922--wunderground's weather historian, Christopher C. Burt, and weather records researcher Maximiliano Herrera are at it again. Mr. Burt documents in his latest blog post a challenge to the world's rainiest location, which is officially Mawsynram, Meghalaya State, India, with an annual average precipitation of 11,872 mm (467.40"). It turns out that Puerto Lopez, Colombia may be even wetter.
I'll have a new post on Friday.

Alternate name: Red Snapper
Family: Scorpaenidae, Scorpionfishes view all from this family
Description The Yelloweye rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) is a rockfish of the genus Sebastes, and one of the biggest members of the genus. Its name derives from its coloration. It is also known as the "red snapper." The Yelloweye is one of the world's longest-lived fish species, and is cited to live to a maximum of 114 to 120 years of age. As they grow older, they change in color, from reddish in youth, to bright orange in adulthood, to pale yellow in old age. Yelloweye live in rocky areas and feed on small fish and other rockfish. They reside in the East Pacific and range from Baja California to Prince William Sound in Alaska.
Yelloweye rockfish are prized for their meat, and were declared overfished in 2002, at which time a survey determined that their population, which had been in decline since the 1980s, was just 7-13% of numbers before commercial fishing of the species began. Because of the slow reproductive age of the species, recovery of the species is difficult, and liable to last decades, even with the harshest restrictions; Washington state, for example, maintains a quota of under 1000 individuals per year. It is currently under consideration for listing under Threatened or Endangered status.
Dimensions Up to 3' (91 cm).
Warning The dorsal and anal fins contain mildly venomous spines.
Habitat Ocean or bay shallows, Open ocean.
Range Southeast, California, Northwest, Western Canada, Alaska.

I like this, but it should also allow no password for free apps.
if i weren't switching to the galaxy s3, i'd get it. shoot, i might get it anyway!
This is the most long, drawn-out article I've ever seen, over an app adding like one new feature and then charging $2 for it.
I think just about all cydia apps are over priced.
jailbreaking is free, cydia is free so stop making money from something that is free.
There is a free version for cheapskates, but how anyone can complain about a couple of bucks beats me.
More than a couple of bucks and I think about buying something but, if I used the free version, upgrading to the pro version for a two bucks is a no brainer, if only to thank the author!
How about at least 10% of everything sold in Cydia goes to the devs who created the jailbreak and Cydia.
QUOTE" Being able to say "I built this, and people bought it" is more impacting then saying "I made this and I was able to give it away for free"."
How about, instead of saying "My app made $10" I think they would rather like "My app was downloaded 100,000 times."
Now which would you prefer?
Still making money from jailbreaking is wrong. Making money from a free thing is like stealing from the charity bin.
They said when the first few jailbreaks came out "If you paid for this demand a refund" so they want to keep it free. Looks like these devs dont care about the jailbreak devs or they would keep it FREE.
The free version already does what I want it to do. I'll stick with it.
Can't believes so many are complaining about people trying to make a bit of money from jailbreak tweaks. If Pod2G and co. don't need money for creating the jailbreak then that's fair enough, each to their own. But if developers want to charge asmall amount for people to download something they spent time and effort creating then that's fair enough too.
If people can charge money for apps from the app store (a lot of which are crap) then why can't developers charge for maing tweaks which help to improve the core functionality of an iPhone?

DM5361, Reviewed October 1993
Initiative and referendum petitions provide citizens with the power to make and overturn existing laws. Through the initiative petition, the people can compel an election on the question of enacting an amendment to the Missouri Constitution or enacting a proposed law. Through the referendum petition, the people can compel an election to decide whether an existing law should be retained. The procedure to be followed in drafting these petitions is specified in the Constitution and Statutes of Missouri.
Although this guide deals only with initiative and referendum petitions, there are various other petitions that can be useful in Missouri. For instance, the people in a third class city with a commission form of government may draft petitions for initiative or referendum of city ordinances. The requirements for these are set out in the Statutes of Missouri. Interestingly, initiative and referendum do not seem to be available to fourth-class cities or to third-class cities with the mayor-council or city manager form of government. People in charter cities in Missouri generally have the power to compel elections through initiative and referendum petitions. The requirements for such petitions can usually be found in each individual city's charter. (Appendix F for a sample initiative petition in Columbia) However, the courts of Missouri have limited the power of initiative in cities by saying only those ordinances that the city council or governing body is itself empowered to enact can be proposed by the initiative. Petitions are also available in Missouri to initiate measures on many limited topics ranging from school re-districting to water conservation. Since such petitions are usually very involved and often have rigid requirements, an attorney should be consulted before attempting to draft one.
The basic purpose of initiative and referendum petitions on the state-wide level is to compel particular state officials to call for a vote on a proposed constitutional amendment, a proposed law or an existing law. But before a vote can be compelled, a certain number of voters in Missouri must signify that they want such a vote by signing the petition. If enough voters sign, the people of Missouri become empowered to directly change the laws of Missouri without legislative approval.
As mentioned earlier, there are constitutional and statutory requirements that must be satisfied before these petitions become effective. Certain requirements are common to all three petitions under consideration. For instance, all three petitions can only be signed by qualified Missouri voters. A qualified voter is anyone who meets the legal voting requirements in his or her particular congressional district, but he or she need not be registered to vote.
To determine the number of signatures required, reference can be made to the official canvass of voters at the last gubernatorial election, which is available in the Secretary of State's office. For a state constitutional amendment petition, the sponsors must obtain the signatures of 8 percent of the legal voters in two-thirds of the congressional districts in Missouri. Since there are presently 10 districts, the sponsors must obtain the required percentage in seven districts. For an initiative or referendum petition on a state statute, the signatures of 5 percent of the legal voters in two-thirds of Missouri's congressional districts must be obtained.
There are additional signature requirements. Each petition may contain signatures of qualified voters from only one congressional district. When circulated for signatures, each sheet for petitioners' signatures must be attached to or contain a full and correct copy of the title and text of the measure so proposed by the initiative petition, and the petition must be filed with the Secretary of State, numbered in sequence for each congressional district. Referendum petitions must have attached to or contain a full and correct copy of the measure on which the referendum is demanded and must be filed in like manner, numbered in sequence by congressional districts.
The first form requirement for a constitutional amendment petition is that it contain an enacting clause, which should read: "Be it resolved by the people of the State of Missouri that the Constitution be amended." (Appendix B.) The full text of the proposed amendment should follow this enacting clause. An initiative petition must also contain the following enacting clause: "Be it enacted by the people of the State of Missouri." (Appendix C.) The title and full text of the measure being proposed for adoption should follow the enacting clause. Also, other laws, which have been repealed, amended or placed in conflict with the proposal, must be expressly referred to in the petition. Missouri statutes require that a referendum petition contain or have attached to it a copy of the bill that the voters will approve or disapprove. (Appendix D.) There is no enacting clause requirement for referendum petitions.
As to subject matter limitations, a constitutional amendment petition may not contain more than one amended, revised or new article, nor may there be more than one subject dealt with in any proposed amendment. Likewise, each petition for initiative cannot contain more than one subject, and that subject must be clearly expressed in the title of the proposed statute. Also, the Missouri Constitution prohibits proposing an appropriation law through the initiative process unless the proposed measure at the same time provides for raising revenue to fund the appropriation. The referendum petition is limited to any one bill passed by the general assembly. Furthermore, the Missouri Constitution prohibits a referendum on an emergency or appropriation measure passed by the general assembly. But the definitions of "emergency" and "appropriation" are vague and subject to judicial interpretation.
There are publication requirements with regard to a constitutional amendment petition. The Secretary of State will designate in what newspapers in each county proposed amendments shall be published. If possible, each amendment should be published once a week for two consecutive weeks in two newspapers of different political affiliation in each county. The last publication should not precede the next election by more than 30 nor less than 15 days.
Every constitutional and initiative petition must be filed with the Secretary of State not less than four months before the proposed election. A referendum petition must be filed with the Secretary of State not more than 90 days after the final adjournment of the session of the general assembly that passed the bill on which the referendum is demanded.
Finally, each sheet of a constitutional amendment petition, initiative petition and referendum petition must be verified by the person who circulated that sheet. (Appendix E.)
Appendix A contains a summary of the requirements for those petitions discussed in this guide. Please note, however, that other types of petitions may have specific statutory requirements that are either in conflict with or in addition to the requirements discussed herein.

Hey guys - this one's really nice!
His lightsaber is awesome, removeable blade, and it attaches to his belt clip - though unfortunately on his wrong side (Dooku wears it on his left and cross-draws)
(if you rotate the belt around so the saber hilt attaches on the correct side - the snap section is in front and it looks worse... I haven't thought of turning the belt upside down, so if it works, I'll post an update)
His uniform is very plain and simple. Reminds you of Death Star II Luke's crossed with Tarkin's tunic.
You've all seen the head sculpt. It is by far THE MOST ACCURATE I've ever seen. Too bad Dooku is not my all-time favorite character or something, but good sculpts I've noticed lately, though this guy is king! (Jango Ultimate Bounty Hunter is pretty right-on as well though).
the plastic chain snaps into place, however, it is also sewn in there, so be careful if you plan on moving, re-moving, or adjusting this piece. There are holes in the cape with little "o-rings" in there, and when boxed, Dooku has clear-bands going through the rings to "pose" his cape. When loose, I suppose they are useless and were they on the real costume, Christopher Lee would have trouble wearing that past airport security. However, you could sew something through there, or use clear bands, to "pose" the cape. This could make a very cool display. However, the shoulder pads are less pliable and want to fit him extremely snuggly. Yet the cloak itself is a very thick material than is sort of "poseable." I'm sure in loose pictures from fans we're going to see some things that look interesting.
Dooku's hands: he can double handle the lightsaber. And his finger grips help a lot, because his uniform is rather stiff, so he's not quick to pose, though very versatile once you get him there. There's a large knob on the saber that Hasbro insisted on wrapping the clear band around twice. Be careful to remove the band slowly, preserving your knob. That's where it attaches to his belt when you want him just wearing the hilt.
Overall, I'm very happy with this figure. I'm wondering if he fits my top 10 list and I'm probably going over to my "rank the 12" post" and try and figure this out.
He won't top 14" electronic Vader, the Speederbike w. Bikerscout, and Ultimate Jango Fett, but I think Dooku comes in VERY CLOSE!
Now that's quality!

Man, last week was like that sudden downpour you get in the middle of a drought. Now we're back to nothing again. I went to TRU in Greenwood for a change of pace and they had nothing. I hit some Wal-Marts and Targets, my normal ones, and nothing.
Right now, if I could find an R5 I would be happy. The next tier is Yoda and Wedge. Then after that the clones and the drivers and the battle droids.
So I am really not looking for too much right now anyway.
BTW, has anyone seen a Wedge figure yet?

TUPELO – Environmental booths, green arts and crafts, live music, kids' events and more are on schedule for the North Mississippi Green Festival today at Ballard Park.
This is the third annual festival, hosted by the Girl Scouts Heart of the South council, which spans much of Northeast Mississippi.
"It was developed to bring awareness for Earth Day and to encourage families to go green and think about recycling and taking care of the environment," said Jenny Jones with the council.
The festival is set for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is free.
The Mississippi State Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture will be on hand at the festival.
"They'll talk about Mississippi animals and how to protect the environment," Jones said.
Vendors will sell environmentally friendly arts and crafts, there'll free kids' crafts and a petting zoo will be set up.
There also will be train rides and a rock-climbing wall, and the Tupelo-Lee Humane Society will be on hand to talk about caring for animals.
Toyota representatives will speak about the company's green initiatives.
Live music will be on the main stage. Performers include Greg Dillard, Ashley Tutor and Jaycee Lynne.
There will also be a Girl Scout Southern Sing Along. Jones said the Heart of the South council has invited troops from outside the council.
Jones said everyone is invited to the Green Fest.
"With the inflatables and the train ride and the crafts, we've got something for all ages," she said, "from the littlest to the oldest."

Now let's revisit novelist Robin Lee Hatcher, author of Heart of Gold (Women of Faith Fiction, Thomas Nelson, February 2012).
Best-selling novelist Robin Lee Hatcher is known for her heartwarming and emotionally charged stories of faith, courage, and love. She discovered her vocation after many years of reading everything she could put her hands on, including the backs of cereal boxes and ketchup bottles.
The winner of the Idahope Writer of the Year Award, the Christy Award for Excellence in Christian Fiction, two RITA Awards, two RT Career Achievement Awards, the Carol Award, and the RWA Lifetime Achievement Award, Robin is the author of over 60 novels.
She enjoys being with her family, spending time in the beautiful Idaho outdoors, reading books that make her cry, and watching romantic movies. Her main hobby (when time allows) is knitting, and she has a special love for making prayer shawls.
Robin and her husband make their home on the outskirts of Boise, sharing it with Poppet, the high-maintenance Papillon, and Princess Pinky, the DC (demon cat).
Please tell us five random things we might not know about you.
--I love playing word games on my iPhone.
--My favorite colors are teal and pink.
--Wearing shoes makes my brain hurt.
--Knowing the end of a book or movie in advance doesn't spoil the experience for me.
--I love power naps.
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Heart of Gold.
Life in Grand Coeur, Idaho, is so different! Back in her beloved Virginia, Shannon Adair loved nursing injured soldiers back to health. But in this rough-and-tumble place where her father has been called to lead the church, she's not sure where she fits in. Then a critically ill woman arrives, and Shannon knows her place at last: to care for this dear woman and ease her pain.
Matthew Dubois is a stagecoach driver through and through. But his widowed sister is dying and he's about to inherit his young nephew. So he takes a job at the Wells, Fargo express office in Grand Coeur until he can find the one thing he needs to get back on the stage: a wife!
What neither of them knows is that someone is at work behind the scenes. Someone who cares for them both, and knows exactly what these two need: each other!
What is it about Shannon and Matthew that will make your readers care about them?
Shannon Adair lived a sheltered and spoiled life in Virginia before the war began. But beneath it all, she cares about people, and little by little, her prejudices and misconceptions fall away in her new home in Idaho Territory. As for Matthew, he loves his sister and nephew and is trying to do what is best for them at the same time he longs to be back driving a coach.
If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?
A young George Strait would play Matthew.
Hmm. The photo I used as inspiration for Shannon doesn't remind me of any actress. I will have to leave this answer blank.
Recently a friend gave me a book that provides links to online music meant to accompany the story at specific points in the plot. I thought that was an interesting idea. If you were to choose a song to be played somewhere within your story, what song would it be?
With George Strait as my inspiration for the hero, I think I'll go with "I Cross My Heart" by George Strait, from the movie, Pure Country. That song always makes me cry.
What is the last book you read that you would recommend?
The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt. This YA novel made me laugh and laugh even while it broke my heart in places. I have raved and raved about it to anyone who will listen, and everyone who has then read it has done the same. Set during the 1967-1968 school year, the story took me back to my own youth time and again. Don't miss it!
What are you working on now?
I am currently writing the third and final book in the Where the Heart Lives series. It will release in the summer of 2013.
