A Literary Great

Sad news this morning that author Harper Lee has died.

I’m currently studying her pulizer prize winning book To Kill a Mockingbird with my 8^th grade students. All I want them to do is love it.

It is an incredible read, so well crafted that there is absolutely nothing that happens randomly in the story line. Every word is so well chosen, every character so completely developed, that when I think of it, it is no wonder it is the only book the woman completed.

Ah, to have a title like that bearing your name. One was enough. Rest in peace Harper Lee.

Relic to Wear!

I’m really excited to announce that Relic fans can now purchase t-shirts and coffee mugs as reminders of Samantha’s spooky adventures in Willowbend!

T-shirts are available on wilseymc.deco-apparel.com in a wide selection of colors and feature the beautiful cover image of “The Ick” on the back and one of Samantha’s musings, “I heard someone say once that Fate throws people together because they need each other” on the front. Click on the link above or the images to the right to purchase. I know I’m buying one of each!

Yea-hah!

Not many people comment, so it makes me wonder who my readers are.

I hope they are readers eager to find out more about Relic and other stories that are to come. I hope they are writers who find helpful tips here.

Blogspot stats let me see where my readers are. It’s fun to see countries around the world light up!
