I am scared

TBM 1708.22 DDOP-22: I Am Scared

by

I am scared

Description:

A little girl faces her fears… in jet blank ink.

Excerpt:

Mandy stopped using pencils when she was six, except for math. She moved beyond wide-ruled paper when she was seven, and they sent her to Special Education to learn cursive because the Advanced Reading workbook had bits of cursive in it. She likes writing in cursive, but some things have to be printed.

TBM 1708.21 DDOP-21: Her Name Was Edith

Description:

Inspiration comes from odd places… and sometimes things get creepy.

Excerpt:

As I was looking for art to help me write the story, I stumbled across an article from a few months earlier about a homeowner in the Lone Mountain neighborhood of San Francisco  – that’s the neighborhood around University of San Francisco, where I went to school – finding a sealed coffin under the garage floor during a remodel.
