My book about Ms. Verga Bless has been read and praised and prize-won and bought like crazy by librarians and teachers. So I will only say, "All right! Way to go!" I will add, "But it's still for sale and you shouldn't miss it."

   News: Another fine book you could start talking about right now is one where I have an important advisory capacity. It's a ghost story that got a nice review in Flamingnet Reviews, naturally. Also, Tery Ordway's story which maybe I have mentioned before got that nice long review in School Library Journal, a place where librarians find good stuff for kids to read, is a huge big success.Tery's story is about the big San Francisco earthquake that ancient old Mr. Junior Kuhl was in, just about a hundred years ago, last month.

    Another fine BalonaBook is about some of Mr. Don Keyshot's fun and painful adventures in Balona. Unfortunately, Mr. Keyshot had to give a lot of credit for finding his lost dog to a person on my List, a person by the name of Joey Kuhl, no longer a favorite of mine. (Did I already mention that?)(When you blog, your mind gets all mixed up, you know.)

   I mentioned already but I'll say it again, you can buy books right on this Web site on PayPal with your credit card. You could, for example, find a good story by Claire's big brother Jack Ordway. John-Browne's Body & Sole is really pretty good and got a good review in Booklist. And Claire gets part of the royalty to add to her huge rich person's sack of gold if you buy her brother's book. Also,now that my Pales are gone, I would also feel a lot better if you will e-mail me and tell me if you like my blog.     Patella's E-Mail
