Christmas gift

THIS is the kind of gift that makes my spirit sing…

Happy Holidays, Zetta…Just wanted you to know that you have been such an inspiration that I did in fact order more of the books and the 2nd class is reading [Wish] now.  I knew it would be a hit, but the confirmation came from another teacher who tells me that the class is telling her about the book.  Although we didn’t get a chance to work together, I feel your spirit when I have them read in class and hear their excitement.

Please let me know if/when you are in the city you can grace us with a visit.  I know they would love to get a chance to “Meet The Author.”

I am SO THERE!  And I owe those kids because I was supposed to teach a class at their school and then it didn’t work out.  I’m just back from the park where I gathered more details and ideas for my new novel—tentatively titled, Ship of Souls.  I *love* these new characters, esp. Nyla who’s an Afropunk, German-speaking, military brat…wrote over 4000 words yesterday and will try to do the same today.  I hope you’re all feeling festive and having fun!  WNYC’s playing gospel Christmas songs…
