Hey hey! It’s Wednesday! At least, I think it is. I can already feel the holiday season starting to snowball. Anyone else? No? Just me?
We hope you all are having a fantastic week and are reading some great books. If not, that’s a-okay! Let’s rally, push through the afternoon, and then get cozy at home for some restorative care and some relaxing activities.

My goddaughter and I may have to make a road trip to a Lisa Frank hotel. We <3 her designs!
True story, I used to equip my desk and cubicle with everything Lisa Frank. The guys left it alone. If they "borrowed" one of my pencils the culprit was easily found.
@Nan de Plume: You might also enjoy Leslie Garis’s THE HOUSE OF HAPPY ENDINGS. Her grandparents also wrote for syndicates—The Bobbsey Twins and Tom Swift among others. The book focuses more on family dynamics than on writing for syndicate publishers, but there’s plenty of information about that too—including the anger of the publishers when writers wanted to out themselves as the authors of popular series.

I have seen the cover already, but yes. Just all the yes. I want to be Harrow.
