I’ve been reading up an autumnal storm as Utah enjoys a long fall. Usually we don’t have much of one for this New York State-born and raised girl. So I’ve been reading in front of windows wide open, back porches, and the like. I’m almost exclusively reading on a Kindle app these days, on my iPad. I like the portability and not having to hold a book helps my hands after too much time working on the computer with the day jobs of online college teaching, home school co-op teaching, and writing book #2 of The S.A.V.E. Squad.
Here’s a few books I’ve read (or listened to as audiobooks on Overdrive on my iPad):
Priscilla the Great - a lighter hearted version of Patterson’s Maximum Ride series. Priscilla finds out she is a half-breed super hero. Yeah, in seventh grade, where being different is not exactly what you’re hoping for. With the exception that I don’t care for first kisses from first boyfriends happening in seventh grade, I bought into the fun of the story. I’m taking a look at the rest of the series to see if it’s as good as the first one.The Going-Away Lake – when I was a kid, I thought I’d read all of Elizabeth Enright’s books. Either I forgot this one or I never read it. My favorite of hers is the Four-Story Mistake. Love the characters, love the plot, love the house. I wished I lived in a house like that. The Going-Away Lake is taking me on a summer where kids have adventure and there’s an abandoned Victorian mansion that will play into this. I’m not done listening to this, but am falling off to a great sleep listening to it at night.
Last one is a foray into a new genre: steam punk. The Strange Case of Finley Jane was a freebie short novel as an e-book. Not bad. Here’s the linkto find out what “steam punk” is as a genre.

Lauraine Snelling, author of a bazillion books, is hard at work writing another novel for waiting fans. Her website is http://laurainesnelling.com . Check her out.
She and I are co-authoring a kid fiction series for ages 8-12. The first book, Dog Daze, launches March 1 of this coming year. Yayness, as one of the characters would say.
The last two books I read are Janice Cantore’s A Heart of Justice and Lauraine Snelling’s On Hummingbird Wings. Enjoyed them both!
I’ve read both of those as well. Kitty who commented has her own romantic comedy out on Kindle. Little Miss Lovesick is a laugh-out-loud funny book. Check it out.
Kathleen Wright …sent from my iPad…
“Why, thank you!” Kitty the commenter replied with a giggle.
