I will so be there ... I don't know if you remember, as there were so many participants, but I was at the Vancouver writing conference for kids back in 2002 (maybe 2001, I'm not sure) and met you then, and later emailed you my short story about a haunted house and the doomed romance that takes place in it. You kindly critiqued it for me and offered encouragement that I took to heart - I've since become a part-time freelancer (currently on hold while I finish up a university course) and have several novels on the go.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, that's a longwinded way of saying thank you, not just for your encouragement but for your wonderful books! I was just rereading Tarragon Island the other night.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to seeing you at the launch!Torihttp://britlitfantwin.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544107.post-32795516161369735732009-03-27T11:47:00.000-07:002009-03-27T11:47:00.000-07:00Hoooraayyy!!!Congratulations, Nikki!~kcHoooraayyy!!!<BR/><BR/>Congratulations, Nikki!<BR/><BR/>~kckc dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862578503579811042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544107.post-1074478044086148182009-03-19T12:04:00.000-07:002009-03-19T12:04:00.000-07:00Nikki, this post is hilarious!

One of my blogging friends jolted me into blogging every day, back in January. She scolded me for neglect on my blog. I took her scolding to heart, and managed to post 40 times in January! In Feb I had bronchitis and was very sick for 2 weeks, so the blogging went a bit down hill. I try to write about "writing" every Wednesday. It helps if I stick to a theme. "Memory Mondays" are dedicated to old family photos. Anyhow, I'm having fun, and it's also working to trigger ideas for articles. That's a bonus!Lorettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135353002456390722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544107.post-34387452346821772092008-08-20T14:19:00.000-07:002008-08-20T14:19:00.000-07:00Hi Nikki,What a classy looking little fellow!

Working part time as a children's bookseller and reviewing dozens of books a year for my column, the radio, and the CBRA, I am delighted by just how many wonderful books are currently available for children. From top notch non-fiction titles to glorious picture books, to compelling fiction - my problem is how to find time to read all the great books that come my way. I think the quality and range of titles available today is better than it ever has been. And, for those who love the classics, each year new editions of old chestnuts are published, some with charming illustrations ("The Wind in the Willows" with Robert Ingpen illustrations jumps to mind - but there are many others).Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05416498201547873298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544107.post-78414903554905037712008-08-03T05:01:00.000-07:002008-08-03T05:01:00.000-07:00Interesting read, thanks.

This doesn't, however, help those who wish to purchase the book locally - as far as I understand, Saskatoon is the closest town where they would be able to buy a copy. <BR/>Cheesr, <BR/>NikkiNikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05416498201547873298noreply@blogger.com
