No excuses
Oh man. It's been a really long time since I updated this blog. Oops. I would love to claim that it's because Random House just offered me a seven-book deal and I need to get cracking on them books, but um, that's not it. I could attribute some of my silence to the fact that I was traveling internationally (to Canada!) but that was only for a long weekend. So I guess the sad truth is I've been a wee bit lazy. Forgive me.
In order to win you over I am going to suggest a book for you to read.
The Boy Who Couldn't Sleep and Never Had To
Awesome title! (God, that makes me jealous. I suck at titling.)
And it gets even better. The story is told by Darren who recalls his high school adventures with his friend, Eric, who doesn't sleep. This leads to trouble. But it's actually the day to day stuff that's worth reading. Darren has an authentic, winning voice and some of his observations made my heart ache, just a wee bit.
You should read it. It has hand drawn illustrations AND it was made by one of the actors who starred in Mystery Team.
