    Hi there! I was wondering if you might enjoy reading my current book, Burnout: The mystery of Space Shuttle STS-281. It's a scifi mystery thriller about a space shuttle disaster that turns out not to be an accident. It's been getting five star reviews on Amazon and BN, was reviewed by a syndicated columnist in the NYTimes, and is nominated for awards in SF, mystery, and thriller genres. It's already been uploaded to Shelfari by my friend Yvonne Mason.

    It was gorgeous in Italian. But I grew up to be an ENglish teacher, so that's the kid of thing that made/ makes me happy. Amy is a Shelfari friend--she's older than me actually. She just brought her daughter to UT Austin.

    Love love love the Inferno. I had a prof in college who read it aloud in Italian. *Sigh* But you didn't like LOF?

    Where are you in TX? Amy is in Houston.

    How's my baby? Have you posted a note to anyone yet? This is my first. We are probably supposed to write about books but I just wanted to say hi and I LOVE YOU!

  • The Ancient One

    The Ancient One says

    The bird that sings long before the sun has risen is
    strong evidence of faith. For that bird trusts the sky
    will soon lighten, the sun will rise, and the world will
    come alive. It is when the bird won't sing at such a time
    that we know it has lost faith in the great continuum of things.

    Even when things seem darkest for us, we can still sing. Even
    in our grief or loneliness or fear, we can find a voice within us
    that will help us have faith that all things change, all wounds heal,
    all is eased through the passage of time.

    We hear people tell us things get better. They do. Of that we
    can be certain, for it's as sure as the rising sun. There isn't a day
    that won't have light. There isn't a night that won't have a rising
    sun at its end. There isn't a problem that won't have a solution,
    a teardrop that won't have a smile, a weary soul that won't be
    energized once again. Tonight we can sing, for we can have
    faith in the rising sun.

    from the book, "Night Light" by Amy E. Dean
