Leaf 8! And an Interlude

Shell here. This is unbelievable, but Jane has finally, finally, FINALLY finished posting Part 1 of my book (that is, Because Of The Red Fox). Not only has she posted Leaf 8, but she added an interlude that comes between Leaf 4 and 5. So check it out!

Jane is pretty happy to be working on this story again. She’s a little slow (no offense, Jane), but last week she visited her local museum and realized what the name of our island is. Really! She had no idea what island Santa, Annie, and I lived on — the name of it, that is. And then she looked on a map and figured it out. Is that weird or what!

So, all of the sudden, she knows the names of places around here (writers are so weird). And she thinks it’s really fun to figure them out. It’s like she’s inventing the names or something! But, actually, she isn’t, because the island is telling her the names of things. That’s what Jane’s saying, anyway.

Now, that’s really weird!

You heard it here first, readers! Thanks for reading my book (well, I guess it isn’t just mine!). It’s only just taking off!

See you next week! (hopefully with pictures of those cute baby chicks!)

Leaf 7!

“Leaf 7: Island At The Top Of The World” is now available for your reading pleasure. Enjoy!

Cutest Things On The Planet

Shell here.

Two chicks have hatched so far.

They’re fluffy.  They’re tiny.  They don’t mind us holding them (which we’re doing very, very carefully).

They’re curious.

They nibble on their food.  One has figured out how to drink water.

They’re the cutest things on the planet.

Gosh, I just mean that!

Pictures forthcoming (Come on, Santa, upload those photos!)

Santa: I’m — ugh, trying!  Just — ugh — tangled up in — ugh! — wires … Ack, how did my big toe get caught?

Annie:  Huh?

Shell:  Shell here again. To be continued!
