Kate DiCamillo

It amazes me how some authors manage to weave a magic spell into their books. It feels as though a wave of words is rolling from the page into my heart.

The humdrums

I should be editing my wolf book. It's taking me way too long to finish that, and I think I have ten chapters to go. What I really want to do is read some more of You by Charles Benoit. Hmm... To be productive or lazy, that is the question.
