		<description><![CDATA[I can not fail to comment on the passing of JD Salinger, arguably one of the greatest writers of the past century. Like so many others, I have been greatly influenced by his writing, although for me it was the mysterious Glass family that first captured my imagination rather than his most famous work, The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These are the days of sweet perfection. The ones I will look back on longingly when I am old. It is a gray November afternoon. A candle burns softly, casting a warm glow. Outside it is cold and crisp, but not yet the bitter, oppressive  cold of January and February. My son sleeps contentedly in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As many of you may know, C.S Lewis wrote a book titled Surprised by Joy. I&#8217;ve always loved the poetry of his title choice and those words have stuck with me over the years. I&#8217;ve thought about what they mean, but usually I can see joy coming. It&#8217;s the happy occasion I&#8217;ve looked forward to, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being an author for teens and pre-teens, I can&#8217;t help making comparisons between pregnancy and puberty. Especially now, as I have embarked on the third trimester, I am reminded of adolescent days gone by. Days I might rather have forgotten. Just as many a woman has admitted that the pains of pregnancy fade to distant [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;d intended for that interview to stay up so people could always access it, but when I took the forum down, it disappeared.

Right now they&#8217;re just that&#8230; inquiries, but I will say this: I&#8217;ve never had quite so much interest, quite so fast. Now if there&#8217;s a cardinal rule among authors regarding film adaptations it is probably &#8220;Thou shalt Not Get Thy Hopes Up&#8221;. And [...]]]></description>

They know what they like and they&#8217;ll tell you when they don&#8217;t like something. And when I say they tell &#8220;you&#8221; I mean everyone.
So, tonight when I had an e-mail in [...]]]></description>
