Help! OVERLOAD of story material. I've figured out that I will probably have to change my trilogy to a four book series! I've got a lot of story and I can't squoosh it all into three books. The problem is, I need another 'd' word for the book name. The order would go like this Dawn, Dusk, D____, Deliverance. But I can't think of one. Do you have any suggestions? I'd really like them.

That sounds like an interesting thing, but I wouldn't do it myself, mostly because of stuff like availability, lack of internet, and time-wise constraints. I do think other people would find it useful though.

Wow, those shoes...simply horrendous and terribly futuristic (except someone is obviously wearing them nowadays).

Do you have more information on the coaching, Erudessa?

Ooh, how about Darkness? That seems to fit based on what I know.

Yes, I did; it was hilarious! It had ZJ laughing too (which is quite a feat )

I knew you'd like 'em. There's another called Cats Leap for Leap Year. It's mostly showing missed jumps from table to table. There's one where a cat jumps, slides across the counter and falls off the other end, taking a toaster with him! That's what I do when I need a good laugh. Watch cat videos.

Hope, I got your story today. I haven't read it yet, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it. My brother is waiting with baited breath for it to come out. He loved Rose of Prophecy.

OK, speaking of that, my two brothers and I won spots in a bookmark design contest held by the St. Joseph libraries and First Source banks. My younger brother and I don't know which ones of ours won since we did two each. His will either be Tales of the R.A.F. or the Wingfeather Saga, On The Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness (hysterical, read them!). Mine will either be the Gruffalo, or a book called Wild Thing, which is about a horse and a girl. But the most exciting thing is that my older brother's bookmark was for the Rose of Prophecy. So now you'll have a published bookmark for your book! After this Thursday, you can go to any St. Joseph county library, or First Source and pick up a printed copy. We're really excited about that. Isaac figured it'd be a good pro-mo, and it looks pretty good! YAY! the weird thing is, we don't know what place we won! My older brother and I are in the high school group, and my younger brother was in the 4-6 grade group, but they didn't tell us what place we got, first, second, or third. But we'll find out at the awards ceremony on Thursday.

Wow, this is long. I'd better post it before it gets any longer.

If your brother wants to suffer through the typos of the rough draft, tell him he can read it or I can e-mail it to him too and he can tell me what he thinks.

Also, a bookmark for Rose of Prophecy? That is so cool! Is there a link where the contest winners will be posted or a place I could order some? Or, barring that, is there any way you could get me one or two...

Also, congratulations! You'll have to tell us which ones of your bookmarks won. I love the Wingfeather Saga! Hilarious, and one of the few books which made me cry at the end. And three winners from one family...you guys must be good.
