Do you want s'more?

Written by Ann Dee Ellis
Friday, 26 June 2009
I have been gone doing very important things like playing in the sandbox, sitting in a whale swimming pool, and pouring cornstarch on ants. But the most most most important thing involved this man: special surprise for anyone who can name him and spell it correctly. Ready set go! It also involved this conference: And many many cool new friends. Plus then a jaunt out of town with my family and finally a return to the sandbox and a very very small mess at my neglected house. Because my two year old is practically sitting on my head right now, I'll have to keep things short BUT I promise more details to come. If anyone still reads this thing. Does anyone still read this thing? Here's a test: Do you read this thing and if so, what do you want to know more about? 1. My trials at the sandbox 2. The man with the s'more 3. The rumble at the BYU conference 4. How to enjoy the beauties of Zion with two kids hanging off your pants pockets 5. How to explain that baby poo is not avocados. We'll see if there's more to come.

Hello Everyone

Momentum, where have you been? Will you come back? Will you help me finish what I need to finish in two weeks? Okay. Thanks.

I want to say I LOVE GRANTSVILLE JUNIOR HIGH!!!

I had the best time talking about writing and my horrible flirting skills and writing and the time I tried to jump off a cliff and writing and the sweet lives of my new friends Siera and Brittney. Oh and writing. Thanks everyone, for the great time! I love school visits. I love junior high. I hope I get to go back there soon.

That's all for now. Momentum is hiding. Love.

Reader of the Week #10

Written by Ann Dee Ellis
Thursday, 30 April 2009
I am delighted to relate to you a very interesting conversation I had with Ms. Grace Charlotte. Grace is eight years old. I’m eight and a half. Sorry, eight and a half. And she likes to swim. Because just so you know, “If you swim a lot it’s like good exercise and you get like healthy and strong.” This is a direct quote from Grace who is not only a swimmer, but a book LOVER. I’m serious. I was blown away. Completely. You’ll see what I mean. And here she is! Read More Add Comment (15)

Thanks to everyone who came to the King's English last night. I love TKE and all the work they do to support local authors.

This is the official opening of the drawing for the audiobook. I'll run this a whole week like I did for the hardback. So if you'd like some CDs of Everything is Fine, leave a comment. You can say anything (within reason) you want in the comment. Okay. Thanks. Again.

Love.

The WINNER!!!

Written by Ann Dee Ellis

Saturday, 25 April 2009

I've tried to post this four hundred and seventy times. Something is wrong with me or the computer. Probably the computer.

Anyway, the BIG WINNER IS Dallas Jozwick!!!!!!

Yay! Congratulations. Email me your address and I'll get the book in the mail ASAP.

On Monday is the audiobook drawing. You will not regret driving around with Mazzy in your ear.

The reader of the week is not here because of some technical difficulties (see above), personal difficulties (see how my one kid had a fever of almost 105 for three days) and family celebrations (yay to my husband who graduated). But rest assured, she will be here next week. A teaser: Her name is Grace. She is ten. She writes stories. She said has strong opinions about many things. I know you'll love her! Stay tuned.

And I hope I get to see you at the King's English on Tuesday night.
