Yes, right now this post is at the top, because the Nuala books are out as e-books. We are post-dated to try and keep this up at the top of the blog.

This is the place to discuss all things about Nuala -- pull up a chair. I'll check in from time to time.

Yes! We can talk about Alfreda, too. But there currently is no e-book for Alfreda scheduled. I'm trying to sell the back list with a new book. So, no Alfreda icon.

The Reason for the Season...

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, ( read it loud, read it proud. )

Another way to celebrate

I'm not sure we can pry Americans away from fireworks (we're like the Chinese -- we must blow things up. If we're not fighting anyone, we still need to see explosions. Fireworks is a safe way to channel these urges, when there isn't a fire ban in effect.)

But this is how a town in Poland celebrates the first day of Summer -- launching 11,000 paper lanterns into the sky at twilight. It wouldn't work here because the grass fires would be just as bad, but maybe for New Year's? Much colder and wetter down here then, much safer weather for paper lanterns.

I could definitely get into this! (I'm nutty about polar lights, too.)
