(Geek Girl Darcy hasn’t read this book yet, but she wants to. It has pirates! It was also written by A.S. King.)

(She looks a little bit like Darcy’s own pretty daughter in this photo.)

She is also the author of these two fantastic articles on writing:

The Writer’s Middle Finger, Part I (How to grow it, groom it, love it, and stretch it)

The Writer’s Middle Finger, Part II (On Avoiding Disappointment)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEEK GIRL CHARITY!

Popping up (from the grave) to say -- Hope all is pink (brainy) and HaPpY on your special day!

Scenes from Darcy’s talk at Westville High. Due to technical difficulties, the Westville Weezer and corn dog photos (!!!) are delayed, but we’ll post them soon.
