I must be a real writer!
A while back Andrea Bellerive, the daughter of a friend of mine, chose me (me!) to focus on for an Authors’ Fair at her school, St. Pius X, here in Regina. I popped by this afternoon to see the finished result, and was quite thrilled. (My apologies for the poor quality of this photo–I only had my cell phone with me.) She’d done long book reports on my YA fantasy and SF (Andy Nebula was her favorite) and even created a tabletop diorama of a scene from The Dark Unicorn. She’s probably thought more about my books than I have! She’s even thinking of reading Lost in Translation, which of course I highly recommend everyone do.
Anyway, it was a thrill for me to be featured this way, and I was very impressed with the effort she put into the project.
Maybe I am a real writer, after all!
